Merchandise and Food Shortages in a National Crisis

[kdog]

Last year at this time I was able to live comfortably on my fixed income, even took several road trips visiting family and friends coast to coast. 

Today, a much different story. We have plenty of food , but having to cut out luxuries and not go anywhere.  Money is getting tight and everyone feels it.

It's bullshit and it happened fast.

It is bullshit. I retired early because work had slowed down and not much to go around. Just watching my annuity shrink is heartbreaking. 

But, I consider myself one of the lucky ones to get a pension at 56 ( I'm now 57 1/2 ) I could still go work somewhere part time if I wanted too, but I haven't come to that point yet. Just getting by now. Just hope social security is there when I am old enough to collect it.
