Widows & Orphans - An Income Strategy for 2025

[@Nativewoman1]

We live on our social security only. It’s not much compared to most BUT I budget for bills monthly. We have everything we need, not interested in wants anymore, just necessities… I thank God for what we have. Only problem is EVERYTHING just keeps going up 😢

[@shelahogletree7711]

You must look for a source of additional income. Read the book “Who Moved My Cheese?” Before you wake up with an empty refrigerator.

[@standsalone5659]

I absolutely agree with you, because as a widow, I'm there also.

[@jerryleopold778]

[@standsalone5659]

If it wasn't for my son in law, there would be no meat in my home for 6 months out of the year. As a widow on fixed income, this is a blessing. Bills are paid every month with very little left over. God has been good.

I chose to retire rather than take the science stew. Ive been a RN for over 40 years. The mandate was still in effect and I chose to retire since I couldn’t get another job in nursing. I make more on social security than I would have working a job outside of nursing. We still have a mortgage, so we will be in debt for a while. Retiring is not the solution for everyone, but it made financial sense at the time.

[@GGsGarden]

Thanks for the food for thought. I’m, for the first time ever, where I could invest a small amount outside 401K. BUT, also need things like fencing and huge trees cleared. As much as developing a small income stream appeals, I am apprehensive of doing this instead of improving my property. The return on keeping deer out of garden might “pay” the greater dividend.

[@paddykickersol3213]

I think you are correct on the garden.

[@orange2sweet673]

I would certainly make sure that my garden is top priority and get that taken care of first. Growing our own food is important with all that is going on.

[@katie7748]

[@JFEnterprize]

Try fox urine, Irish spring soap, and hang old or unused cd’s to shimmer. Always need something g new or they get used to it. Neighbor next to my grandad laid the deer netting down on the ground, rather than upright. Since they don’t like things on their feet it worked til they learned to jump over it 😂🎉❤

My aim this year is to live on 1/3 of bring home pay (yes, a very low number); reinvest the rest in my home; and determine, what I MUST have to maintain a low standard of living. This will help me see if retirement could be doable in ‘26 (would have to purchase health insurance for at least 2 years). I am BEYOND ready for my time to be my own.

[@lindas9806]

That wouldn't pay for my necessary expenses. My goal is to document my spending and debt repayment to hope to retire in 2026 too.

[@GGsGarden]

@@lindas9806 I cleared debt in 2024 so this is an experiment to see if it is doable. It is likely that it will not be. Like you, I am documenting (and categorizing) expenses. I am splitting expenses out to track taxes and fees separately. This is a real pain. I’ve had to research several things to find out the break down of use/taxes/fees because it seems it is okay to just bill a total amount. But, it will help curtail any “on a whim” purchases because when I think about the pain of tracking, I will likely just say it’s not worth it.

[@buckeyedav1]

One thing I would suggest is find a health insurance broker.. I don't know how you do it from scratch ask friends who have retired early, that's how we learned about ours. My husband passed away 2 years ago at age 64 and I decided to stay our of the rat race and took Widows Survivors at age 60 1/2. My health insurance is $180 a month through Marketplace. I am not eligible for Medicaid due to making to much money and assets I am o.k. with that I am debt free. Anyways just a suggestion and unfortunately just like all insurances it does go up each year, my broker researches the lowest prices each year for me last year it was $102 a month now $180 it does include dental and eye care.

A financial strategy no Prepper channel ever talks about. Be genuinely born again (repentance toward God and family toward our Lord Jesus Christ), tithe (10% of gross income to a real Bible believing New Testament church) and give (separate and in addition to the tithe) to gospel ministries. God is faithful to those who obey him-actually DO what He says. That is real faith-trusting Him when it is hard to do. He will show Himself faithful and He will take care of you as His beloved child. I have lived this reality for over 20 years and could tell you some amazing testimonies! To God be the glory!

What about starting a small business that isnt high labor. Something that can be done at hime. Look at your states cottage law's. Learn how to make pastries and sell them locally and hit the farmers markets that are close by. Make soaps, or candles, or jams and jellies. Any of these things require low labor, inexpensive to start, and can easily bring in an extra 4 or 5 hundred a month. Crafting and hand made products are sought after and the community loves to support these things. Just my humble opinion on something easy to learn that can help bring in a few hundred extra every month.

IF people are willing to buy it, yes. Where I'm from, there's a wee bit of a market for it. But where I am now? Nope. People would much rather go into town and buy from big stores or go online. It's so frustrating.

Once O toner of 2024, I have not been able to pay off my charge card at the end of the month. I used to be able to pay off what I charge on it, but now I cannot. I am on Social Security, so fixed income. Unfortunately, prices have gone up and Social Security hasn’t gone up as fast as prices.

Thank you for this topic, your advice is very helpful! A few years ago I found a brokerage house with no fees and started investing very small amounts and reinvesting dividends. Was chasing dividends for extra income when I retired but bought what I knew. Thanks for putting list together for us.

Sprouting seeds using 1/2 hour South Pole magnetic reorientation of hydrogen… set up a street table with plants and a jar so people can grow food and trade heirloom seeds while making food and money!
