Trying to survive on $1,800 per month in Social Security & the FDA may ban Red Dye 3

[@TL-s1b]

Get a one bedroom and a flex wall to create somewhat 2 bedroom. Then a$1,200 to $1,500 1 bedroom is $600-&750. In S Texas you can still find a studio for $695. If desperate get a 2 bedroom with 4 twin beds. You gotta do what you gotta do.

I have lost numerous friends to cancer. I think we have too many chemicals in our lives, too many food additives, too many chemicals in our homes and on our lawns. I am a senior citizen and don't recall so much cancer when growing up. I was not as prevalent as now. Nowadays even many children are getting cancer.

Make America Healthy Again!

[@Curlyblonde]

You can easily see the difference in people's health related to their diet and quality of their food and drink when you compare the general health, physical appearance and physical abilities of North Americans versus that of the Western Europeans. This stems from the Europeans banning many of the toxic artificial ingredients, additives and preservatives along with the pesticides and herbicides in their food and drink that are allowed in the North American food supply. The Europeans have a longer life expectancy, a better quality of life in their senior years, a more robust physical activity level, less severe chronic and debilitating illnesses in old age and more healthful, natural physical appearance with improved skin and hair quality in old age in their natural state. You are what you eat.

Bought my house in spring of 21 using a $1227 a month SSDI income, got out from under high rent.

[@gregorylyon1004]

You can never get ahead renting these days. Rent has skyrocketed ever since the pandemic.

Take your $1800 and go live is SE Asia. Two bedroom apartment for $350.00 USD. There is life OUTSIDE of the U.S.

[@minoozolala]

Prices in SE Asia are rising too. Moving is expensive, visa renewal every year is expensive, health insurance for the elderly can be expensive throughout the world.

The only o ption is to get a used rv or trailer and move where its good year round weather.

[@Downsdddgh]

That's a good idea. Living out of your car and a tent is a better idea.

You can work and save all your working life and get sick and it can damn near wipe you out, I know for a fact and it’s hard as hell to build your savings back up. And I still worry because as everything goes up I wonder if we can keep our heads above water.

[@ZXX984]

No mortgage, no vehicle payments, and a small loan that will be paid off in the spring. With SS, My retirement ( with health care deductions) and my wife with a small retirement. 6K yearly taxes/insurance. We pull it off but a price! No extra spending and live frugally. My wife doesn’t like that we can’t have an RV/camper. I’d like a 60’s car. First thing first!

[@acr4715]

Most people that I know that are on SS get half of that.

[@gregorylyon1004]

These days. I don't know who can survive on a thousand dollars a month. I can't survive on that income, and my home and vehicles are totally paid for in full.

[@acr4715]

@@gregorylyon1004 I have to make at least 1k a week.

[@hifijohn]

I get $1179.

[@jjred233]

I usually see single people over 70 getting about 1800 or more a month. People over estimate amount of SS before retiring. They really need to check with the local SS admin far ahead of retiring.

[@elw6150]

Yep, half that, and we are hurting more than we can stand.

MSG is wonderful! I have a large bag of it and use it for a lot of things that I cook.

[@johntheaccountant5594]

UK only gives £920 => $1,240 so $1,800 is 50% more than the UK so would seem doable. Move to SE Asia where you can live on $1,200 per month.

[@richardhewett7677]

Taxing these "entrepreneurs" into oblivion is the answer. Monolithic corporate entities and mom and pop real estate mogals bought the affordable homes .. many with cheap loans from the banksters. When it comes to housing for the working poor and less well to do seniors there should be a "cap" on capitalism. Why doesn't our 250k a year ( part time) lawmakers in DC care about these people? We could solve this problem overnight.

The county property taxes are going up 8 percent, that is just property that doesn’t include the school property taxes. A fee counties away the taxes are going up 24 percent. Home and car insurance is going up. I don’t think incomes are keeping up with the increase in prices. If you are on a fixed income, it is even worse. I pray Trump can turn things around but, we’re nearly $37 trillion in debt. Ouch.

[@user-qb8qm4mp5n]

Dextrose is another name for MSG. Natural flavors listed in the ingredients could also be MSG. Red Dye 3 should be banned. At $1800 it will be impossible to find something to rent, especially in California. Even collecting double @ $36,000 it won't be easy to find something to qualify.

How many of these people get triggered when the idea of getting a roommate is mentioned? How many of these people had the chance to buy a home for $100,000 back in the 2010’s? Oh wait. They love the Commiefornia weather you say? See how John Williams is making videos of buying some pretty nice homes in Ohio? Know you can buy a home for $150,000 in Roswell NM? Oh wait. Live in New Mexico? Ew! Pardon my rant. Guess holding other seniors to my 73 year old mother as a standard may not be fair. She has her financial house in excellent shape.

I spend about $1,800 a month on monthly expenses, including P&I payment on the mortgage. Property Taxes and insurance on two houses and two vehicles is about $5,000 a year. I pay those annually. Health insurance is $309 a month.
