(24,486 posts)My birthday is in the 11-20 category but my SS always is deposited at the end of the month and rarely on a Wednesday. Last November I received that month's check on the first of the month and the December check at the end of the month.
I'm 72 and if I can find a job my problem will be solved because I live in a mobile home which is generous since at best it is a trailer but it has been my home for nearly 34 and is really a memory palace this this is the only place where my 33 year old daughter has lived and has been her home that she could come back to visit. The upside is that my lot rent is only $320/month and it's right in the city in a decent neighborhood, not far from stores and shopping. I live a block from a small river where eagles are very common to be seen this time of the year. The hard part for me is that's it's a memory palace and heartbreaking to need to leave.
Just a few months ago I trusted that my SS would always be there for me. How quickly that trust has disappeared. It's my money that I had taken out of every one of my paychecks.
How could I get robbed this way? What has this country turned into even with the threat of withholding our checks?
