D**N Uncle Sam


  Hello all well here's the story for the week. You ever feel like punching out your Uncle Sam. This week I needed to.  Why because I did my incomes Tax and let's just say that Uncle Sam needs his butt kicked for what he wants me to pay him back. I mean D**n Uncle Sam you know a Sista retired without a pension check. Plus, inflation is eating at her saving you think I could get a break?

I am paying a lot this year only because my accountant said I made money last year. Not if Uncle Sam is taking it back I didn't. Anyway, did you do your taxes? How did you make out?

Still trying to get to Lowes the hardware store for oops paints so that I can finish my rental home and sell it. You ever have that thing were your minds wants you to do something, but other things come up first. That seems to be happened with my rental home and repairing it for sale. Other things always get in the way of me working on it. 

Good news my heart doctor says that my heart rate has improved but I am to fat so I need to walk about 2 miles in good & bad  weather. He says it will help me lose the weight and my bones will get stronger. That's my goal for April 1th which is Friday. Walking to be healthy.

                                                  That's my story what do you think?

Retirement


 
Hello all, Well here's the story of the week. I got my social security retirement letter. Yes, I am getting older and almost ready for my social security check. Well, I got this letter telling me about what the amount of my social security check will be will when I turn 62, 67 and so on.  I will say it was an eye-opening experience. But I am glad that I got it. So that way I can do my retirement budget to see what my expenses are going to be against what my income should be. That's important to know where your money is coming from in retirement because you never know what will happen in retirement.

I see the difference between getting my social security check at 62 and 67.  Now I am trying to make the difference of the two by saving money, selling stuff and being creative with my finances.  Got any ideas? So how are you planning your Retirment when it comes to money? 

                                                  That's My Story What do You Think?

So Expensive


 
Hello all well here's the story for the week. I had to get a new cellphone because the one that I have has is a 3G which will be considered old soon. I needed a cellphone that was 4G or 5G. Which you know when you upgrade it's more money right? Well, I did get a 4G phone that cost me about $299.  The 5G ones were over $500 and up no thank you. But since  I have   consumer cellular they offered me a $75 discount which made the phone $$224. Which is still way to expensive for a phone. I like free or damn near free  when I have to purchase items that I hardly use. But I took the deal because I need GPS  for my car and you need a 4G or better phone to get it.

Found out this week that my uncle passed away in his sleep over the weekend. I was sad about that it was my mother's baby brother. They were not as close as they should have been but he was family. And when you lose anybody family or not it still a sad thing. Rest in peace Uncle Danny.

                                                That's my story so far what do you think

Thanks Home Depot


 Hello all well here's this week's story. First the roofer came back to check the roof for the 2nd time on my rental place. He found nothing. Which is a good thing, I think. So where did the water come from that was in my dining room?  While the roofer was there, he asked if I wanted to rent the place to him and his co- workers. they were willing to pay the rent and the water bills. I told him let me think about it. I really do not want to deal with tenants again. I just want to sell the place and move on. Too much hassle being a landlord.

Thank you Home Depot I love when you have oops paint on sale. I found 3 cans of a nice color oops paint the good stuff on sale for $9 use to be $5 a can. The original cost of the paint was $45 a can. You know I was not buying no can of paint for $45 dollars that's crazy to me.  I got 3 cans of oops paint for $27 less than the cost of 1 can of paint. Anybody know why paint is so expensive?

Now all I have to do is some minor repairs on my rental and put that bad boy on the market for sell. I have had that home for over 30 years it's time to move on.

                                              So that's my story what do you think?
