Financial good news

[aadler]

Susan finished signing up for her own Social Security retirement a few days ago. We were told she won’t receive the first payment till the end of April, but if the quoted estimate is more or less accurate, our total monthly retirement revenue will increase by 85%. We’ve been more or less getting by already … but, because her old job had trouble letting go of her, we’ve continued to have that pay coming in, and it’s difficult for me to tell if we would have been able to balance the books without that.

The additional payments put us well and firmly into the category of “enough, as long as we don’t start spending a bunch more”. And that’s even without the military pension I think I might finally have enough paperwork to properly submit.

This could be nice. I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Good luck! Retirement with a sense of security is to be appreciated. :)

It’s not unwelcome, no.

Glad to hear y'all's retirement will be secure.

Looking that way, at any rate.
