Retired 1984...imagine the inflation since then...we just tighten the belts and wear suspenders to keep up!! LOL No interest on savings in so long $ are now extinct.
Time for more belt tightening. New York State pension went up $3!! PARTY TIME!!!
I’m pretty much belt-tightened too. But I still work part time on call for consulting with my former employer. That’s what got me in trouble in having to pay back some money they didn’t want me to make.
