If your co-worker tells you she's on a fixed income...what's that?

To me, when someone says they are on a fixed income, I think that they only receive so much income, like a salaried manager making $80,000 a year. Now granted the manager gets paid bi-weekly, but makes the same amount year after year. A raise might come up at some point, but generally salaried employees tend to make a fixed amount that never really changes.

But yes, someone on a pension, or SSI, I could see too, however, there are people who come out of retirement to work 3 days a week. So that fixed income is now no longer fixed for those who choose to do that.

She might be asking for money soon

bull shit

we're all on fixed incomes.

She probably worked for the Federal Government , retired and said upon receipt of her first retirement (annuity)...WTF!??

Limited income

I am to, it's called salary a fixed amount that never lasts

She broke

Usually it means, "My bills are bigger than my income."
