But that's us. Have others used Soc. Sec. for other needs or wants?
How about Medicare? Did it have a big impact on you when you joined?
Social Security is extremely important to us, about 1/2 our monthly income. So, yes, Medicare is important too. The property values around here would plummet if these programs were diminished. Indeed, for all of Florida.
