Yahooooooooooo! Can't wait! I got big plans for all that money!
Look at it this way folks...........if your social security check was $20,000.00 per month, that means you will be getting $20,460.00 each month for 2008.

Enjoy it Lenny while you can. I turn 65 in July and it will cost me about $100 a month for MEDICARE. That will wipe out my entire increase plus many dollars. Once you are 65 those increases mean absolutely nothing. MEDICARE eats them up plus a few dollars more.

The 2.3% amounts to 24.00 for the average senior retiree. For those over 65 on Medicare, the Part B premium increase for 2008 is 15.00 give or take a few cents. Net gain to Joe Retiree is 9.00!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??

Any increase we get will be wiped out with the increase of M/care, you will be lucky if you see $5.00
