Hi old timers, I was just thinking:

[Paper Roses]

I do not really believe the government will do away with Social Security but if
they do,we're in duck soup-at least I am.

For the last two years, I have been living below poverty level. Lost my job and more importantly, lost my husband.

I'm trying to keep my head above water but, who knows?.

It is scary and depressing. Never thought life would throw this at us.
Social Security is all I have. If it disappears, I will give whatever I have to my kids, sell my house and give serious consideration to jumping off a tall bridge.

I'm not kidding. What will pay the bills, what will pay the house taxes or the other 'must pay' bills we all have?

I do not shop for anything except food and that has been cut to a bare minimum. No snacks, no junk food. Sometimes I want some chips or a whoopee pie. No Go.

After working since I was 16( eons ago), this is the worst financial situation in which I have ever found myself.

I wish I could find a group of "we're in the same boaters" with whom I could chat. No-one else I know seems to be willing to discuss how bad it is. Maybe I am just an old lady who can't cope.

Am I by myself in my worry?
