2 months ago the social administration sent me a notice that i was getting a $130 a month raise in benefits. that sounds great even though i have to pay about $30 of that for income taxes that i already paid years ago. so that leaves me with a nice round $100 more than i was getting. this week i got notified by medicare that part b has gone up from $135 a month to now $170. so thats ok because i still have $65 left from my raise. but now i also got hit from Blue Cross Blue Shield that my supplemental plan has gone up from $240 per month to $280 per month which still leaves me ahead $25 a month that i can put forward for the increase in gasoline, heat, food and other insurance premium raises that i am forced to carry like car and home insurance. my car insurance went up $180 for the year and home insurance went up $2000 for the year.
i still have to count my lucky stars because i got a break on the other side of things that overcomes all this inflation. i got the CAW out of the win pools in New York and Kentucky is now giving me penny breakage!
