Hey everyone! If you’ve been here a while, you’ve probably seen how many new members arrive scared, confused, and worried they’re about to make an irreversible mistake with Social Security or Medicare. Filing for social security and medicare and making sure you get it right as well as retiring and starting a whole new life is a very difficult and stressful time in everyone's life. Reading a real story from someone who’s “been there” can calm people down faster than any brochure. If Dr. Ed or this community has helped you in any way, would you be willing to share your story in the comments? You don’t have to write anything fancy. Just answer these in your own words: 1. What was going on before you found us? 2. What were you most worried you might mess up? 3. What almost kept you from asking for help or joining? 4. What did you actually do here that helped (class, checklist, Q&A, plan, etc.)? 5. What’s better now because of that help? (Only share dollars or details if you feel comfortable.) Your story might be exactly what a scared new member needs to read at 2 a.m. so they don’t feel alone. Quick safety note: please don’t post your SSN, full claim number, or other very private details. Keep it to your situation, what you did, and what changed. Thank you for being willing to help the next person in line.

Early voting..... also be real careful of the Click Bate out there .....There seems to more and more each day.... everyone Many Blessing to you all stay safe....

🗳️ Texas friends — I'm registered and I'm voting blue on Nov 3. Here's why you should too. Mike Johnson already said on the radio that Social Security and Medicare "have to be adjusted and fixed" — and that Republicans "have a plan" for next year. Read that plainly: after the midterms, they come for our benefits — cuts when the trust fund runs short in 2032, or they raise the retirement age. There's an easy fix and they won't touch it: make the wealthy pay their fair share. Right now Social Security tax stops at a wage cap, so millionaires quit paying while working people pay on every single dollar they earn. Lift the cap and the math works — no cuts, no higher retirement age. Early voting in Texas is Oct 19–30. Vote like your Social Security depends on it, because it does. 💙

Well, I received my 90.00 from Social Security... Why do I feel like the government is throwing a small pittance to us poor small people, and that we should be grateful for what ever we get without complaint... Hummm !!!!! Everything is upside down.... !!!!!! 🙃😬😮

FYI, Just got the new monthly rate on my supplementary Insurance.. It has gone up $26.00. Better than what I thought it would be. Still it would have been better if it didn't go up at all... With everything else going up to... I might have to go stand in the food line so I can eat.... Blessed Be everyone...
