Well your mind is certainly not disable to any degree. You seem as sharp as a tack, a sharp tack.
I do offer my sympathy to you for the condition brought on by your illness. Yet do I understand correctly that days ago you were visiting the pyramids of Egypt? If so, then you seem to be navigating your disability quit well, which is a good thing.
And I'm with you that they better keep their hands off the SS fund at least a bit a bit longer. I have some saving for all the good it will do when inflation gets into full swing, and the banks decide that it really belongs to them to do as the please, and I get a small check from my vested 25 years in a traditional retirement fund. But I am going to need my SS money too.
Can I ask you a question. I assume you are enrolled in Medicare. I just signed up for it a year ago, and just added Medicare Advantage a few weeks ago.
All this time, because I've paid into Medicare since 1970 something, I thought Medicare was provided at no extra cost, after I quite working. But I have to pay around $400.00 per quarter. I've paid so far around $1400 and have not used a single bit of it. Is this normal?
BTW, I am not drawing SS yet, but will probably start that around Mar 2022. I turned 66 this month and I think I have to wait till 661/2 to get full SS, so I wanted to wait till then, although the increase at 66.5 is not that much more than if I took now.
