Glad to have SS money

I get my Social Security the second Wednesday of every month now so I just got it this week. I was down to $28.00 in my bank account so that was a relief. I just certified for my unemployment benefits today. Now I wait. So many people got laid off due to corona virus, the state has been swamped with applications. So it is taking longer than usual. I am not getting that much since I only worked part time but I will take whatever I can get at this juncture. Still waiting for my tax refund too. I think that’s going to take a long time. Once again I am worried about bills. I am hoping I can catch a break if I can’t pay them all. Especially my rent. I thought that getting my SS would take a lot of pressure off but here we are again. Oh well.

I am thinking about looking for another job when this is all over. I am done with doing massage. I can’t physically do it anymore. I discovered that now that I haven’t been doing it for about a month, I feel 10 times better. No more pain for the most part. No need to see the chiro either.  I feel that 16 years is enough. As much as I enjoy it, it’s time to move on. I use to work in insurance so maybe it’s time to go back. It’s boring as hell but it’s a paycheck. I could do medical billing from home so I don’t even have to go into an office which I like. So that’s a possibility. I only need to supplement my SS so I don’t need to work full time which is also great. You have to be careful how much income you have or it affects your benefits.

Another problem is that I have no savings. It’s all gone. I have had to live off of my retirement money for years now and it’s gone. So that’s not good. I have a plan to try and get out of debt in 2 years. Then I am going to need to buy a car and hopefully start saving again. I eventually want to retire so I need this to happen. So we will see.

Well that’s all the news right now.
