Yeah!!!! I am now part of the 1%'ers!!!!!!!!

I heard this morning that the Social Security COLA is 1.5%. Yeah! Can I now say I'm part of the 1%'ers???

A whole $15 a month more will sure go far. Maybe I should start looking online for that trip to Europe I've always wanted.

I thought I read somewhere the Medicare premium would be going down what with new cost containment or something, but no.

That's what I'm going to do with my $15!!

Or maybe I'll fix the power steering on my car.
