I Am Retired

Next month I receive my first Social Security check. I cried, for real, when I heard what amount I would get after all my life working!!!! I was the working poor. Government welfare serves folks better than someone who worked minimum wages. How can anyone save money when they live from paycheck to paycheck.

You are correct.
And they don't want us living beyond paycheck to paycheck.
Think about it, until you've fallen as far as you can go, the government will never extend a helping hand.

@xixgun Like I said, I worked two jobs at the end. One a weekly paycheck, working 30 hrs. a week. Then I cleaned homes for my … saving cash.
