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.

I live on Social Security and it's a joke, a very bad joke. Enjoy it while it lasts. If the Republicans stay in power, SS will go away after the 2020 election.

@hunkalove Go do some research and find out which party was in power when they robbed the SS system of its money to pay for "other" gov't projects! BTW, I'm an independent and am retired. I worked my arse off since I was 14 and lived below my means, so I'm good for now!

@hunkalove Lordy be, I hope not! If anything could stir the hearts of "we the people", it would be to down right steal our hard working cash from us! It would not be pretty.
