Got Me to Thinking

                                                 Hello, My Cheap Cheetah Family

 I need to quit watching so many YouTube videos about living on social security alone and how a lot of older people are living on just that. Watching those videos scared me. Had me thinking, can I live on just my social security check? The answer is heck NO!  I can't even live on my pension and social security; I'm still about $200 short, and that's not including food and miscellaneous. expenses.

So I ask you, can you live on social security alone? If not, then what can we do? First, I see a lot of seniors getting part-time jobs. Just look at your Walmart, supermarkets, and delivery service companies. Even YouTube videos, anything to make a couple of extra dollars to supplement their small income. 

I also notice that people are taking advantage of free offers that are given out, where it's as a bank offering a better interest rate, your car or home insurance offering better rates if you do certain things, and such. I also notice that people have cut back on a few things, especially vacations.  Now it seems like vacations are really for the people with extra income, and that's not too many nowadays. Inflation increasing by the minute, and people are not being able to afford their basic needs. Vacations are the first to go along with any luxuries that are too expensive. Heck, I was thinking about getting rid of one of my cars because of the money I have to pay for gas.

I was watching a program where food pantries are running out of food because of the increase in families not making enough to cover their basic bills.   It's getting scary out there, family. So, all I say to you is this. Watch your money, look for sales, and if you have to get a second job or do something online to bring in a bit of extra income. I'm right along with you, family, on this. I'm always looking for ways to supplement my small income. I got medical bills that require me to pay a monthly deductible of about an extra $60 out of my pocket. Oh, let me tell you. collecting plastic bottles is now a big business I saw a guy in my neighborhood with three women going around collecting plastic bottles and cans out of people's garbage cans on recycling days. He had a truck with dozens of giant plastic bags full of plastic bottles in them. You need to do what you have to do to make your money stretch.

                          Have A Great Cheap Cheetah Day & Save that Money!
