Be still my heart!

Just got the news about my social security COLA for 2021. I'm getting a raise -- $11 a month! Wheeee!

If I'm not around for a few days, it's just because I'll be so busy moving into the lap of luxury.
Or so Mitch McConnell and his cronies believe.

1. You know what would REALLY irk the GOPers???

Spend it on one of those recreational abortions!!!

[badhair77]

4. Lol. Yes, splurging with your Social Security money for an abortion.

Go crazy.

[ret5hd]

6. You know...take a niece and make a day of it!

What fun!

[badhair77]

2. Woohoo! Don't spend it all in our place, like

for groceries, gas for the car or utility bills. They’re too good to us.

3. My SS raise just covers my increase in my Medicare premium.

24. Mom can the numbers and she's actually losing $112 a month starting next year.

She's a widow with a pension as well as SS, and some annuities as well, so her MediCare premiums went up 4% because her annual income is just above average. She's not rich; she's a retired University administrative assistant and Dad was a retired high school teacher with 24 years in the military reserves for his retirement, so they were "comfortable", but not much more.

I guess we are supposed to be ether poor or super wealthy when we retire.

5. My SS raise...

may cover the cost of Extra Help with Rx drugs. That's all.

My young Girl Friend starts her new job tomorrow.

9. Don't forget us little people here at D.U.

[summer_in_TX]

10. I'm almost as thrilled as you are!

My increase this year is 43 cents.

[mountain grammy]

11. That much?

Shhh.. don't tell republicans.

[StarfishSaver]

12. Use it to underwrite the formation of another local Antifa chapter

[judesedit]

13. Medicare Part B will probably increase more, so don't go too crazy yet lol

[joanbarnes]

14. Mr. B and I got $10

[mnhtnbb]

15. Lucky you! They want to give me less

based on means testing a deduction for Part B Medicare based on an aberrant tax return for 2019. I've already filed an appeal, but who knows how long it will take for them to make a decision.

[mbusby]

16. Might be enough...

...for two Big Macs.

[susanr516]

17. Don't get too excited

They probably raised your Medicare payments by $12. I don't think I've ever seen a net gain in my payments-it's all been offset by an increase in my Medicare costs. USA! USA! USA!

[Joinfortmill]

18. LOL

[PlanetBev]

19. Me too!

$19 big ones!

But, they’re raising Medicare deduction from $144 to $148, so it’s down to $15.

Bastards, eating my meager lunch.

[locks]

20. I got 13 cents

[EndlessWire]

22. Buy penny stocks.

You might get lucky!

[EndlessWire]

21. I got $17

but I've already been told not to brag about it.

[NBachers]

23. I'm donating mine to George Soros

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. We could have more billionaires if not for you radical liberal socialists!
