Welcome back!

A spending spree? Yeah, right….I think not.

I just mentioned that we live on my husband’s SSDI. It isn’t much. We are at poverty level. He paid in the insurance, got disabled, and now he gets SSDI. If we had the money available, we would also get some insurance. I do not know what term life insurance rates are right now, I can only hope they are at a level that we can afford.

We manage to pay our rent, utilities, get food, and buy some gas for our vehicle, not much else. I am glad that I can blow steam and put my thoughts down, so that I do not implode with what is going on. Maybe the word that I am looking for is explode. Whatever, it would make a mess, so it is best that I do not do either.

I will continue to blow steam and survive.

With all of the things that are going on, we need more income for our family.

My husband gets social security disability. That is better than nothing. I, unfortunately do not qualify because I do not have enough points in the system. I wish that I did. I am not able to work in many of the types of jobs that I’d had before, since i cannot stand or do much walking.

Each year, he was getting a cost of living increase (not that it kept up with the actual cost of living). This year, it was decided that he shouldn’t get one. My opinion about that is definitely off of the record since I am supposed to be polite when others can read what I type in. I know that others who get this from having the FICA taxes taken out of their paychecks also barely make it.

The system is far from perfect, it is a mess. I just wish that the politicians would quit playing with it and playing with our lives.

I am not transferring to another country (in spite of Obamacare), or to another school (I have been out of school for decades).

I have been transferring information from one computer to another. Oh joy….NOT. I need a flash drive. At least that is what my brother-in-law who is a computer dude, says. He says that I can put all of the information onto the flash drive, and then zip it into my other computer and then go to town.

Where do I find one? (smiley face with hope)
