[QUOTE=Girlcopper;1853268]Few dollar increase. No big deal. And hopefully most people have a nest egg besides SS after working their entire life[/QUOTE
Hopefully, yes, but sadly not everyone has, or even been able to, work their whole life, many reasons from constant moving for work, children, illness of one partner or another, having to care for parents or children at home, etc. Not "arguing", just pointing out, it is really difficult once on a fixed income, and of course probably what ? 30%, 40% of the people in these retirement communities have two people who have worked all their lives and were able to save in addition to their S.S., that's all I'm pointing out. It is a huge deal for many unfortunately. We ALL need to try to impress this on our grown children...but will we be successful when they are trying to buy homes, pay 50K a year in college tuition, make two car payments so they can both work (when and IF there is work again....hopefully). Anyway, no "argument", but the auto and home insurance is really out of sight here.
