I never post here but it annoys the hell out of me to have people blaming the government because they aren't going to be getting SSI. Yes, I know we all paid into it. Yes, I know it's our money but 25 years ago I decided I wouldn't rely on it when I retire.

We paid off the house we've been in for 43 years. I drive a 2003 Chevy with 138,000 miles on it...paid. I have a 2005 CC paid for. I have a 2009 Suzuki SX4 paid for. I have 2 wood stoves and cut and split 8 to 10 cords of wood to supplement my heat. I don't ask anything of the Feds and, while I accept SSi and medicare, I don't EXPECT it to be there forever.

No boat, back in the suds.
