A Salt Lake City widow writes that in today’s economy a retiree with $130 a month income and no other resources seems unable to rent and survive. She notes city rents and costs, the impact of Social Security, welfare qualification, and shares anecdotes from others about low incomes, taxes, and frugal living.
A reader from St. Paul asks about a wife’s eligibility for Social Security benefits. Answer explains she may claim at 62 with a 15 percent deduction, or at 65 for half of the husband’s benefits, and notes potential continued gains if she has her own benefits or if the husband retires later. Current income is $270 a month from her husband’s Social Security.
A family reliant on social security purchases a mobile home and sets up a garden to grow vegetables. They express relief and happiness despite paying $40 monthly for medications, feeling in heaven with their new setup.
