I have a lot of health issues that hopefully will be addressed before I have to deal with Medicare.  Of course, I have 8 more years before I qualify.

In March of 2026 I will be on Medicare.  Can't wait for that fun to begin.  I have too many health issues that will need to be addressed.

Nice to see more people again!

markie -- it is a huge adjustment.  And what is odd is that you finally have time to spend money, but you don't have as much money, nor do you have control of your income.  I think you can loosen the belt some, but taxes and how worthless Medicare can be, can really trip it up.  And again, Medicare works fine for some, and some don't get hit with the same taxes.

I'm trying to keep track of our spending but dh has been like a drunken sailor on leave.  I want to get the credit card totals together for December and see how much we spent and let him know.  December was exceptional since the kids were all home but he can't spend this much every month.  Unless I get used to the idea that we've worked hard all these years for retirement so we can loosen the belt a little.

It's great to get back to the basics! I need to do that too. With everything going on, some things fell by the wayside. I'm setting up a price book again this weekend. One for here in AZ, then another when I get to MD in May. The old one is in Illinois, somewhere LOL.
