Got the letter from the Social Suckurity folks congratulating me on next year's big raise. I'll go from $1160 a month to $840. Some raise, huh? They upped my Moldycare payment from $170 to $544 a month. Earnings adjustment they said.
Whooopeee.
Well, hell. I use my SS as pocket money anyhow.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

My SS will go down 500 when I retire at the end of the month, because of WEP. On the good side is my medicare penalty of 300.00 a month should go away, because my income will go down. We get penalized for working hard, but they give money to freeloaders who are leaches on the people that work.

Never fails COL goes up and insurance follows close behind to offset the COL.

Whew....I thought you meant your income would drop $500 a month for WAP ~ Wet Ass Pussy. WEP sounds like a much better reason though. 😬🦫

Look on your check stub. I bet you will see the pay in part. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Jorge, the letter says that I have to pay lots more for Moldycare due to earnings on my 2019 tax filing. I'm penalized for capital gains, I think. Wonder if that'll get rolled back after this year's stock market debacle?

Yup.
Socialization at its best
Successful people pay more to support those that aren’t.
Next step is “means testing.” if you are successful and planned and saved, you don’t need the SS that you and employers put away for “your” retirement, so some crack head will get it, cause they need it.
