My wife and I retired in 2015, debt free, with two year old cars with low mileage, social security, and a savings account. We had a budget that paid our monthly expenses and allowed us $500 each month to use on vacations. We also had 500,000 frequent flyer miles on Delta to use as we needed.
As a result, we went on about 4-5 vacations a year from 2015 until COVID hit.
While our monthly expenses have increased about $1,000 since Biden became President, our overall Budget has not been impacted because we simply take only two vacations to Myrtle Beach, SC which is fairly inexpensive for a week. Our need for gasoline has decreased as well since we no longer drive as much as we used to.
We are not invested in the Stock Market, so we have no gain/pain there and there is no need to update our wardrobe since we are no longer working. Our home has been downsized, we have eliminated cable, and our phones are with AT&T which is the lowest we've paid in years.
The illegal immigrants are not really coming in droves to East TN and the fact that the conservative voice is being censored does not really bother us either at our age. The double standard of legal justice has TRUMP BY THE BALLS but does not really impact us either. It does not bother us that our military is declining in power nor does it bother us that CHINA is not seen as our enemy.
We strongly believe that ALL POLITICIANS ARE:
- liars
- cheats
- thieves
- make hollow promises
- care only about re-election
- only care about the people when it is time to vote
- and likes power and control over honesty & integrity
My wife and I have saved enough money to take care of our simple needs and lifestyles for the next 20-25 years regardless of inflation and regardless of who might be the President.
Others are not so lucky as we have been.
HOWEVER, I will never vote for Biden or the Democrats because they are not only trying to destroy Trump but they are trying to destroy this country so that they will always have power and control.
Our OLD USA is gone and my wife and I will join her soon.
