And I am in that latter category. My SS checks have yet to cross the
$1700/month barrier. We do fairly well as the wife is a retired school
teacher, so she gets SS and Teacher's Retirement. I made sure the place
was paid off while we were both still working, so food, taxes &
insurance, utilities & vehicle maintenance are our major outgo's. Even
with my hobby expenses, we stay plus with the bank.
