Dad sure couldn't live on the SS he earned. Such a shame people who don't work and sit on their butt all day are given more.

Come on down, the price is right!!
 

think we need new signs on the bridges

Why does the government feel the need to determine the diversity of our Community. Yeah diversity has done so much for places like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco…..That’s exactly why I moved here

You are speaking about the area I live in and do so with so many others who just Love the Historic Section. Speaking for the majority of 4000 plus home owners, clam up if you don’t have anything nice to say.

I’m proud of myself for not passing judgment in writing on you Babuhat. Good job condemning all of us, thanks.

Keep in mind, not everyone receives the same amount of SS.
This on the Villagershomes4rent.com
1 Bedroom Patio Villa: Rental amount is $1350/month with a 12 month lease required. Rental amount includes the amenity fee, water, and outside care. Renter pays electric, cable, and internet.

Live on $4,000 per month SS in TV....................yep.

I looked up the average Social Security & as of June 2022 it is listed as $1,542. So the article is padding the average by a bit. But they have rent at $756 which leaves $837 for everything else, including Medicare & basic living expenses. So not much room. A rental at $1350 a month leaves only $243 (from the article's stated $1,593) which taking out Medicare & electric, leaves just about nothing. Probably in negative territory.

I’m sure rental prices have gone up, but one bedroom patio villas exist.

More like $756 a WEEK!!!

That's a pure advertising website which probably allows any article by any advertiser. I would perform due diligence on any article's information on which you will be making a decision. Otherwise, not worth taking seriously.

Being a millionaire may seem rich to you, but it isn’t if you have only one million and want to pass it on to your children. It’s said that you can generally take out about 4% a year and do that. Let’s say you have one million, so you can take out $40,000 a year from your mutual funds. You also have $30,000 a year from Social Security. But your mutual funds firm automatically takes out 20% with every withdrawal for taxes. That’s $8,000, leaving you with $32,000. Then you get taxed on your entire Social Security income because your supplemental income is more than $25,000. Let’s say that works out to $5,000 of your Social Security that you lose, though it may be more. Those two are $13,000 subtracted from your yearly $40,000. So that million dollars is only adding $27,000 to your Social Security.

Thanks to the effects on the stock market of Covid, Ukraine, supply problems, etc., your million dollars has also decreased by 30% total. So ideally you shouldn’t take anything out until that goes back up.

Having TWO million instead of one should help a lot, but the number of people here with two is much smaller than the people with one. (And those who had three million last year May have only about two million at the moment.) If you have a million dollar house and drive a BMW or two, you should probably have four or five million. That’s an even smaller number of people.

Agree. A million sure isn't what it once was.

cheap rent?
 

Ya....like food stamps

Yes, it is called clickbait and everyone HATES these sites. They spread terrible misinformation (which MANY fall for or waste time fact checking) and downright lies. Deadbeats who won’t get real jobs earn income for each of our clicks.

DON’T CLICK! It will be a triple win. You won’t be misinformed, they won’t get paid, and the workforce just might get a much needed WORKER in the process.

Not with food prices the way they are these days! :ho:
