Lotta still working, and at the bill paying/family raising broke ass stage of life, will get a couple percent "raise" and double digit insurance increases, along with increased deductibles and co-pays Unreal what employee insurance looks like now. The boss man is paying through the nose, many are not even covering families. Employee only. Employee paying $800+/month For a policy that has $50-100 co-pay and $5k family deductible. Our single is around $35/w/o with $2k deductible. And from what I see most is worse.

Medicare goes down like 6 bucks a month.
But doesn't off set last years 14% increase in the least.
Insulin total out of pocket is supposed to be 35 a month.
Some other stuff Medicare wise is supposed to go into effect in 2025 IIRC...
Honk for Joey will Tout this schit even though the inflation rate is waaaay beyond 3rd quarter figures for the cola calc.
Using the CPI W is slanted against seniors.
Notice how the price of gas went down during the july, aug, sept calculation period for cola...
Uh huh....
This schit can all be Google fu,d....

WTF over ........ I'm 59. Glad I ain't gotta do that schit till 65 Collect SS at 62. Tricare for life, VA tier 1, and that Medicare schit to look forward too at 65. And I hardly go to the docs except for mech fix joint surgery stuff. Paying for all the freeloading fuuuks who never worked a day in their life is how I look at it.

Our health share organization went to $800/mo. We were already paying $500/mo.
We told 'em, "Kiss my grits!" and now put $400/mo as cash in gun safe.
A medical test I needed cost $1500! 🤯
When I informed them I would be bringing cash, the price dropped to $500! 😯

A dozen eggs is $3 at the local produce stand. $4.50 for 18.
Home ground whole wheat flour is $5/3 pounds. Home ground corn meal is $2.50/1.5 pounds.
The eggs, flour and cornmeal taste a whole lot better! 😉
