Lets see what the medicare policies do. It always seems that between the medical insurance, dental insurance, auto insurance and utility increases the raise is gone and then some.

so maybe I'll get "all" of it. Groceries and shit have been rising so it's kind of gone anyway.

I have secret hope we'll get a raise from Congress if we flip the Senate and they kill the fillibuster next spring. Given all of the shit going on though, it wouln't be a huge priority, I'm sure. An across the board 5% bump and raise the cap to $250k at least would be nice.

so my SS increase is already nearly depleted. I don't think the $7/Mo. that will be left over will cover the huge rent increase I'm expecting for 2021. The building I live in is "Sale Pending" to an investor, and this will be brutal.

One step forward, two steps back (and Verizon hasn't chimed in yet).
