I can collect $950 per week at age sixty or if I wait till I’m 77 then we would get $1650 a week.
What would you do if you were approaching that age? I suppose 950 dollars is not a lot of currency each week, but with free healthcare and living overseas where it is much cheaper, that 950 dollars will go a lot further; And if I wait till I am 77, if I even live that long, chances are the SS benefits probably won’t be around any longer.
I also get a small pension from the local supplier I worked for the past twenty one years doing heating and cooling repairs and service. I absolutely feel sorry for the kids just entering the workforce now, because it seems that most likely they won’t get any benefits at all when they turn 65. Maybe running your own local company would help because you could keep it running after retiring by having another local Heating and A/C rep run the company for you so you make some residual income. My Mom made a bunch of currency so I will also get some from that money, so I am not absolutely sad about how I am going to survive when I am a very old geezer. I suppose my Mom’s Heating and A/C company was worth many million bucks when he passed, which is mainly from selling current Heating and A/C systems and smart temperature control units for so many years. I’m lucky that he made currency because chasing my lifelong dream of being a tunesian is not going to make myself and others a rich person, at least financially.
