Happy on you, too! It would be nice to have one big party. I wonder it that could happen, maybe even a once a year get together.

Had a friend in the late 70's-early 80's who flew down yer way and acquired an extra suitcase or two on the return trip. Like most...they were boots... but oh my...oh my. He got em weighed out in 1000's. We took the time to count them and always ended up with quite a few "extras".

Man, I loved those things, and this in the era when anything was available. Dexamyl's were pretty sweet too.Had a friend in the late 70's-early 80's who flew down yer way and acquired an extra suitcase or two on the return trip.

We didn't wait. Not 70 >yet!< I worked a lot outside the system and didn't pay anything in for 15 years while I was doing "other things"....so my monthly isn't what some folks receive. My wife also worked outside the system primarily....and has a 401K/etc. If you have a 401K....you get fucked @ 70 when you start talking distributions from your pension/investment portfolio. @ that point...the Windfall Elimination Program takes hold and they knack yer SS payment substantially...like 2/3 of it....gone. Doesn't matter what you "paid in". They don't want you to have what you earned...
So we jumped in early. Shoulda done it as early as we could have. If any of you out there have a 401K or other pension funds you might want to check this stuff out.

Boomers spent their lives accumulating stuff. Now their kids are stuck with it.
Baby boomers filled their homes with possessions. Their children are struggling to figure out what to keep — and where to put it all.

This is only pertinent to a very specific set of circumstances that affects an extremely small group of people. It’s not standard social security protocol nor something the vast majority need to be concerned with. Those who worked “outside the system” may be impacted.

With 143 million folks having some sort of pension/alternative form of investments...I thought it worth mentioning even if you didn't.
Have a great retirement!

I never heard that term before, was there any positive benefit to you from the program?

@BarnBuster .... Only that my wife's previous employer alerted her to the change in the law in '83. I speak of it because it does affect those who were in service jobs like cops/firefighters/county workers/city/etc. Most working type folks who pay into SS have no clue that our Govermental positions don't pay into SS and have alternative programs in place. Ironic, huh? LOL. Either way...she gets to tap full benefits until they force us to take withdrawals/etc yearly. They want that tax money! I get to keep raking in the BIG bucks...no impact on my SS payout.

I worked a job for 30 years, same company, in an environment that does not allow people to smoke weed. (period)
I smoked in the 80's as a teen. Bud was very different back then, nothing like today. There were no strains to choose from, you bought whatever the dealers sold, mainly garbage, but occasionally good sinsemilla. (that was what we called good bud back then).
Now I'm back and having a blast ! Growing strains like Northern Lights, Durban Poison (old school strains) is like growing the best I ever smoked in the 80's its amazing ! I don't know how you all smoke big blunts of today's strains, I cant keep up, thats insane to me ! One or two little puffs of today's weed and I'm higher than I need to be... 3 puffs and I'm a useless piece of doo-doo that cant get off the couch.... How you guys smoke so much is crazy to me ! I must be a light weight.
Almost 60 in age.. Glad to be back

Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage: sales pitches are often from biased sources, the choices can be overwhelming and impartial help is not equally available to all
Signing up for a Medicare plan when you turn 65 − or making changes in subsequent years – means wading through a thicket of consequential choices that can’t always be undone.
