Uh oh, I think I got her knickers in a knot. I was asked to post Ms.
Kiz's response to me. You got me Ms. Kiz, I'll cry uncle, besides, I
was always taught to respect my elders. Here goes. I hope I reach
retirement and have as much spunk as you.

Fund my retirement!!!!! I worked in private industry from 1947 to
1992 paying
SS taxes each and every payday. In addition I worked for the Fed
Govt for
twenty years. So when my jobs interfered with my volunteer work, I
retired from
working seven days a week in 2002.
When I applied for SS due to retirement, I was advised by someone
in your
generation that I would have collected $1900 per month but since
Hollywood
Ronnie issued that end of double dipping, I would collect only $303
per month. When
I asked the facilitator where the $1600 per month goes, he advised
that it
would go back into the pot for others, maybe even your generation.
So please do
not include me in your comment about you funding my benefit.
I do however collect a govt pension. Will you take credit for that
too?
I admit proudly that I do take advantage of the early birds along
with four
members of our gang of five. We even took advantage of April in
Asbury and were
able to eat at the Moonstruck and Tides which we would not have
without the
discount. The seniors are asking the city/Chamber to continue this
offer.
I enjoy being a senior. The benefits are multiple such as respect
and
appreciation.
I hope when you become a senior that you enjoy it as much as I.
My comment when asked how I like being a senior is the reply," If I
knew I
would enjoy it as much as I do, I would have aged much quicker".
Enjoy !! Kiz
