$1200 a month in SS and another $600 a month from his pension?

He could be living like a King on a nice beach in the Philippines or Thailand instead of working two jobs just to get by on in the US

The max ss benefit in 1998 when this guy could have retired was $1342. So the $1200 today would be way low with the annual increases since then. There is more to this story

He could make big bucks as a giggolo. All it takes is a viagra prescription.

I am friends with a widow who has much more money than I. Maybe she's an anomaly or maybe we both are. I'm not interested in her money but she does "go dutch" to help me out. And she's not interested in the benefits of Viagra.

I assiduously avoid giving anything to beggers.

I was told these jobs were for teenagers??

And that the franchises owners have a right to their profits and the customers have a right to cheap fast food slop...A win win for all except the poor slobs working at these places who apparently have the right to qualify for food stamps...

SS does not have annual increases. Increases are based on some arcane determination of cost of living increases.

Yup. Something’s not right with this story.


Have you considered the “Hot 25 Year Old Second Trophy Wife Effect”?

Gets ‘em every time

My last increase came to about $2.54. I’m still trying to figure out what to spend it on. Maybe a cruise....to the next block!!!

Still, his $1,400 in monthly wages allows him to bolster his savings and provides for some extras.

This guy works two nearly full time job and he makes 1400 per month??

This is a joke right?

Evidently not much wisdom in planning for the future while being a VP of marketing earning six figures. He needs to request a refund from his university.

Belize is also another option. IDK what this guy is trying to prove.

77 Years old, working two jobs, turning off his water heater to save money, etc...?

He should be enjoying life on a nice beach instead of flipping burgers.

To each his own...

Yep, this is a fake story, there either is or isn’t a story involving this guy, which ever it is, these articles (this one, Wash Post, Huffington,etc) aren’t reporting it.

Working two jobs, equaling nearly full time, and he only gets 1400 per month?

What is that after taxes?

"I couldn't be mistaken but $1,200 a month from Soc. Sec. is pretty good. I think that's the maximum."

But you are very much mistaken. There are a number of variables such as your income in your highest several years (can't remember the number), the age at which you begin withdrawing, etc.

Mine is over $1,700/month and I retired at age 62.

Well all fine and dandy for him but if I make it to 77 no way I want to be working unless its putzing around in the garden or something.

Oh come on...You too could be working nearly full time in two jobs and making 1400 per month...

The franchise owners must be laughing hysterically.
