#5 Don’t overpay for medication
One of the issues most of us will have with old age is health. Whether the issues are severe or mild, you will most likely have to take some medication to ensure your quality of life. This is why a lot of people forget that medication can end up costing you a pretty penny.
A good way to make sure your security check will last you the whole month is to try to save money on medication. Whether you buy generic instead of specific brands (they work the same) or use a prescription membership program, it’s best not to spend a fortune on medications when you can definitely save some money!
If you’re use to working and get are social security checks once month it’s hard it not nearly enough to live off but some i make it work I’ve been living on disability for little over 20 years some I make it work you have to remember you buy everything you need for the month i mean everything from food to toilet paper one supply it’s like put a puzzle together with God’s help I survive and retirement and ssdi all that the same thing I wish with this next raise we getting next year be enough where I won’t have to scratch my hair out because I don’t have enough money to survive Lord God help us to live comfortable in our golden years I pray it works out
My insurance is to high for my home it takes almost half of my social security check.
I paid in close to the limit of social security for much of my life. Yes I took social security at 62 but my checks are less than $900 a month as it would not make my house payment. Thank goodness my retirement income is far in excess of that. I can’t imagine living on that alone.
