Social Security COLA

[AustinN4]

I’m not spending my golden years at McDonald’s.

Golden years, golden arches, LOL

Well, yeah, Vmax said he saw us drinking coffee at McDonalds.

I know, it was in response to Texas42's comment.

I've seen you guys all together at McDonalds drinking coffee in the mornings.

At your age, you probably shouldn’t be antagonizing the old guys.

[Charlie]

Heh! Youngsters!

I’m absolutely younger than you.


A whole 23 days younger than you.

I thought Easyrider was the youngest looking one at the table.

 

[Charlie]

Oh shit! You mean Easy Rider is a youngster?

My SS check went up $23. That is after a $7 Medicare Ins. increase and an $8.5 withholding tax increase. Not sure why the withholding increased so much.

My wife and I both ended up with about a $3 gain after all was said and done. It'll go toward my increased property taxes. I really hate living in Austin. I think it has the highest property taxes in the state. But the wife won't move. Says she likes our neighbors.

 

[avvidclif]

Tell her to pay the taxes! See how far that will go GRIN

It's only coffee and soda discount according to the link.

Be glad you don't live in libtard sugar tax land.

Why, you guys have to eat beans to pay for probably the most luxurious accommodations for city government in the State.
Suck it up, citizen ...

Withholding? What withholding? You must be special. Nothing is taken out of my SS except the insurance premiums.

Folks who are still working, and will end up paying income tax on SS income, can have taxes withheld from their monthly benefit check.

ETA: Just filed 2017's Joint Return -- 85% of our SS income was taxed last year. No fear, they'll always figure a way to screw you ...
