I can hardly breath right now, and I am shaking, and drying tears of joy. I have lived on next to nothing for about the last 5 years. I lost my last job when I got hurt lifting things in a warehouse in 2010. Then so many health issues came along as well, and some of you know the story. But today when I opened my account, there was the money I need to live a decent life on. I am so grateful for social security, as I was not good at finances or savings in my life.

Can anyone relate? ;)
 
LOL, my sister came in and put a piece of paper in front of me on my laptop screen!! Love it!!

Sure, and I promise to keep the interest low for you Shirley, is 20% high? Told you I wasn't good at finances, LOL!!:rolleyes:
 
Oh thanks Cookie:) I have been planning a long time, as I will need to be frugal. But the things is, I am already used to that, LOL! I agree, I get pretty sour on life, but it can be so wonderful:) hugs, denise:)

By the way, that's the best, dang avatar I ever saw on a woman's profile, you go girl, awesome, LOL!! Them moose can be the meanest, the oneriest critters to ride, but just shows me you're another of my heros, LOL!
 
Finances can cause a lot of stress. Congrats. Are you able to do a little part time work? Something fun with a little extra spending money would be nice too.

Thanks Holly,

well, the bank is taking out a bit each month for savings, plus I'll throw in when I can, so it isn't out of the question. I have a friend that is saving too. So she and I could go together if things work out:) thanks again, Denise
 
I am so happy for you and to hear that something good has happened to you or anyone else in this forum. Hard work and long years can finally ease some of your burdens. Hang in there!
 
thanks halalu;) It's been a long wait, and something I didn't want to draw so early, I'm 62, but it was there and I needed it;) Glad to have you aboard;) Denise:D

It's easy, Denise. They are just like men; you have to ride 'em hard and put 'em up wet.

:wink::lofl:

I'll be looking for the check in the mail. :D

I'm so happy for you Denise! Three cheers for a decent living! That much money will make it so much easier won't it? I'm looking forward to having that same feeling in a few months.

Yessssssssss! And do you know what I did first? Well, I had my tires rotated which is free, and of course I was bored sitting there so I went down to the thriftstore and bought a cute blouse for 5 bucks (sorry shirley, there went your dough). Gotta get me some Gingko for my memory, LOL! Ok, "first thing after all that"?? I opened a saving account and they'll automatically put some in each month for me, yeehaw!!
