i got a raise!

December 15th, 2012 at 09:55 pm

Starting next month, Uncle Sam will be giving me a raise. Instead of $504 a month in social security a month, I will be receiving $509! I wonder what I will do with that extra $60 in 2013??

I just got my mail and I got a dividend check from Tim Horton, which will be added to the challenge!

Prev. total $10,848.00
today 30.00
new total $10,878.00

    That isn't much is it? I know you will be okay, but I think of those who rely only on SS income. Those that do can't go back and save more at this point. A good reason for those of us prior to retirement age to save our own money!

    One visit to Starbucks every month? It is about a 1% increase, which isn't too bad nowadays.

    Glad that you have some insurance of an increase, albeit incremental. That leads me to think of a quote from the Bob and Doug McKenzie single album from many years back. The Canadian comedians had Geddy Lee, the lead singer from Rush, singing the refrain to their silly song, and near the end one of them says "Hey, Geddy, thanks for singing on our new hit single, eh?" And Geddy says, "Hey, ten bucks is ten bucks, eh?"

    Sooooooo... "Five bucks is five bucks, eh?" Wink Jerry
