@susankayequinn@wandering.shop For about 5 years, my partner (he was retired) and me cared for elderly relatives in our home. They were all in their eighties and one needed to have someone around full-time as he had dementia and could have gotten hurt if left alone. We did it, it worked out really well and I'm glad we did it. Some years later, I started working again but part-time. When I retired and saw what my SS payment was, I couldn't believe how little it was. My feeling: No one who gets to retirement age and can begin getting SS should get less than $3000 a month. You really cannot live on less than that. What's worse, if you have to use your own savings to live besides the SS, you have to pay tax on the SS! This is insane.
