Fixed income blues.

Ok... It's been a year learning to make a monthly SS deposit actually last a month.  

Frugality is my friend.  I can make a penny scream for mercy but I still live what I feel to be a good life.   I'm active in volunteering, have found a plethora of free AND fun activities around the Manassas/Pwc area and can make a pound of chicken into many meals. 

I'm loving owning my life after almost 50 years of working.  I've a great group of friends to pal around with, dine out (caution here), go to matinees, and attend all the aforementioned free and fun activities.  

Yep, living it up!!

And then the car breaks down.....
