Financial Advice
My husband and I met with a financial advisor. He is the same person who navigated us through sending our daughter to college. He has his work cut out for him. As my husband once said, “When you live in the basement, you don’t have far to fall.”

Dear tiny dancer: This is the fourth time I have tried to post a comment. I am new to blogs and maybe I can't follow instructions. The essence of what I have tried to say is that perhaps you in fact were living (upper) middle class and now are faced with (lower) middle class. Having lived in a mixed lower middle and midle class community (rural, village, many elderly with old housing, some living on two SS checks) I can tell you it is OK and better. Tom
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom for trying to figure out all this computer stuff. We are looking at a 55+ community and two SS checks eventually. We hope it will be better. I will let you know when we get there.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of those two SS checks: This is the first time in my adult life that I am wishing I were a few years older. We're still 2-3 years away from early retirement over here. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYou know exactly how it is when you are so close even though you never wanted to be (and yes, wishing you were already there). You start looking at your options.
ReplyDeleteHello tinydancer tell me what this ss checks. tell us some new ways about financial advice
ReplyDeleteSS checks are social security checks. If you have a portfolio it should be balanced (some risk, some safe). Also, getting a part time job to supplement ss or pension money.
