General Discussion

Fortunately, for being 72 I am in good physical shape with no aches and pains. Now I know why when I go grocery shopping early in the morning that I see older men pulling the product forward on the shelves. I tell them, "Looking good" and they are appreciative. That could well be me someday.
I do have a van to live in (ironically, I had thought of living the van life when I retired) but the day would come when I'm not have money for gas. Then what? Winter in Wisconsin would be hell because this last one was when I had a house.

So Social Security is very important to me. It's not much, but at least I can live on it. Now, every month, I'm hoping that I get that month's check or if my money will be stolen from me.
But I trusted my nation would repay the money with interest that was taken from every one of my paychecks for 40 years.

Welcome to America. I wonder what the other nations of the free world think of what has happened here?
