A big 5.9% increase in SS

When my wife and I started SS 10 years ago, we were still able to set aside 2-300 dollars a month. Now we are taking that much out of savings each month. We haven't taken a vacation in 10 years, haven't been out of the state longer than that, don't eat out, don't smoke, drink, or buy lottery tickets. I'm not sure how much more we can give up.

It looks like my rifles and hobby are going to get ****canned in the next ten years.

Six percent inflation rate is horse****.
 
I am Armenian and used to live in Iran. Iran, just like America used to be an excellent place ti live. We migrated to America for a better life and over the last 10-20 years I see America headed towards the same condition as is Iran.

Some American are stupid and don't see what is coming and don't stand up for what America used to be.

The mullahs of Iran have majority of the money. It is the same here.

In Iran mullahs and the country is corrupt vs in America the government is corrupt but in a legal way.

Some of you KNOW this, but, for those that don't, I'd like to give you, a little "Tip" ,..
Do like, the Rich, in America, do ! You need to be, Invested in, Stocks, Bonds and Real Estate to, Keep up with, Inflation ! This means, doing WITHOUT, sometimes, SAVING and starting, YOUNG at, Investing.
THEN, when you are, 50- 60 - 70 years old you WILL, HAVE "enough" to, buy,.. good Food, Components, fishing Tackle and some, gas ! AND be, very, VERY,.. CAREFUL how, you Vote as, Elections HAVE, SERIOUS,.. consequences !
We Sheep are being Led by, the Wolves, in Washington. And "Brain Washed" about IT, by the LYING, News Media !
NOTHING,. ever, "Changes" for us ( the Working Class ) and WHY everyone is so, Piszzed oft at, our, so called, "leaders" ! I believe that, most of, BOTH sides, ARE,. corrupt and SELF serving !
Even some, Repub's ( RINO'S ) have turned their Backs on, "Common Sense",.. thinking !
Pray that, Joe Manchin stays,.. SANE and Smart ! May God continue to,.. Bless, America !

My future is secure, No not in this world but in the next. Some will laugh some will not. I will do the best I can while here to help others and my family. We are told about "this" future and it will come to pass. There is a better way. I pray for all of us as our times are troubling and while our present "leaders" think they are in control they are not, just like Pharaoh they are being used as a means to an end.
 
My wife and I both have 20+ years before retirement. We are trying to invest now and plan for SS to not be around. If it is great if not at least we are trying to plan for it.
One "Key" issue is to,.. PAY OFF,.. your Primary Residence !
Strive to, do that, as IT's,.. a Big Deal !
15 year, loan, maybe ?
And IN, a Low Cost,.. "Retirement friendly, State", hopefully !
