Interesting how you call a widow, whose combined earnings with her spouse were confiscated by Social Security for the entire duration of their marriage, ‘double dipping’ when they are able to get paid back some of their own money.
We HAVE been told there would be pain in getting ourselves back to financial health and this (I assume) is one way
I LIVE on SS ... less than a thou a month
If I didn't own my home outright, I'd'a ex-patted to the Philippines years ago
I pray (really ... I DO) for older folks that have a mortgage
MY spirit is SO free because I have no mortgage ... just 2.25 acres and a wife and dog in the country
I confess ... that financial/social position does influence my thought processes and language
Sorry if I offended you.
