WOW- I just today got a letter from the Social Security that I'm getting a big raise in January. It'll be a whopping 1.7%. Just don't know what I'll buy first, a loaf of bread or a 1/2 gal. of milk LOL. I know it will actually be 1.70 per hundred, but it sure doesn't come anywhere close to the rising cost of things at the store. I have read in the past about old people living off of dog or cat food, but as I get older, I can see why they did it. Now don't get me wrong, we're by no means starving, but I just can't see how folks with low SS income can afford to pay bills, buy medicine, and buy food anymore. At this time of year especially, and I see a lot of posts about taking care of the young ones at Christmas, If you folks think about it, check on your elderly neighbors or maybe go visit and kinda slip some money on the table that they don't know about cause most of them are too proud to accept it as a gift. Just my thoughts, Keith
