Living on a fixed income sucks, OK? Did 40 years...mostly Gov't work, get a pension/social Security, and after the BOHICA, I'm lucky if I have a pot to piss in and a window to throw it out of. And to add insult to injury, the most insidious but highly effective US agency, the IRS will be out there salivating to see how much they can get from me tomorrow...the bastards! I pray to God Almighty I'm not thinned out tomorrow (payday) at the Tax office...please leave me enough to get wasted after you've tortured me, that's all nothing more!
There's lots of online jobs for extra bucks. I do this on the side for an extra $30,000 a month, but that's me. Common jobs can get you an extra $3,000 a month and you get to work from home.
@PrivatePeeks had no intentions to disrespect you in any way, and I’m very sorry if that’s how it sounded. It’s just that that’s the only way I’ve heard of to make the kind of money you’re talking about online. If you don’t mind could you explain further how those other jobs work?
@PrivatePeeks Very few of (advertised) home jobs are real. Mostly they make a pittance for the ones posting the ads. And over a certain amount of income, always inadequate, the IRS will pounce on you and if you are on benefits watch out they don't steal some of that back.
You are lucky . I am disabled unable to work and was gonna work till I died . Now I am stuck on benefits having to watch every penny deciding what I can and cant afford each month and always scared they might stop my benefits or change them etc always worried .There is nothing I can do I cant go back to work and ease my own financial problems like able bodied people can .You chose to retire I didn't choose to be disabled .
No, I did NOT choose to retire, and I can appreciate your situation. I worked for the US Gov't and if you know anything about them-they're two faced. They loathe; so they say, discrimination, including age. Well that didn't apply to me as a FEDERAL EMPLOYEE. I was forced out at 60. I wanted to stay. I now use my photography and cooking to bring in a few extra bucks. But go over a limit, the IRS is onyou like a chicken on a junebug! Thanks for your input.@Rhodesianman
I’m in a similar boat, retired and saw the accountant earlier this week. I was totally expecting to have to pay, but got a refund—that went right into the bank. I think after working all one’s life and paying taxes, upon retirement (especially with a fixed income), one should become tax exempt. A pipe dream, alas. 😏
Indeed! But you know "uncle"-he must be sated every April 15th! I'd have stayed on the job (Federal Firefighter) but the FED Gov't for all their ballyhoo about discrimination including age, when it comes to their own they DO discriminate. I got forced out at 60. But I use my cookin and photography to aid me. The Gov't isn't getting that $$$.@bijouxbroussard
