“According to Google ai:
The projected Medicare Part B premium for 2026 is $206.50 per month, a significant increase of $21.50 from the 2025 premium of $185”
So with a 2.8% increase in SS, less the $21.50 increase in Medicare, both myself and the wife see a net increase of $60 each a month in our pocket. $1440 combined less Uncle Sam’s cut is about $1250. Better than going backwards.

“I do encourage using Keto breads like Hero or Sola Bread-type breads”
Funny you should say that, I didn’t really put my finger on it that these high fiber / low carb breads could help my digestive issues. But I have TRIED to eat them more so just trying to keep the weight down (not too successful) But I do buy low carb tortillas at most any stores. The sandwich bread and hamburger / hot dog buns are pricey and brands that don’t taste like crap are not easily found + pricey. Netrition.com has a brand I really like “Aunt Milles” So I stocked up the freezer a few weeks back when they had a free shipping weekend. Tonight I’m making “Fiber Gourmet brand” high fiber Mac / cheese. It’s really good in my opinion, less so the wife.
