Just a bummer. I just got my official letter for my Social Security Cost of Living (COLA) adjustment for 2024 and it's a measly 3.2%. I was expecting higher!

You beat me to the punch. I was just going to post this. How sad. But I guess at least it went up as usual. Real inflation is much higher. Ah the great USA inflation lie.

@old fart and @Spend Thrift this SovereignMan article talked about the potential for big spending cuts soon, if you want a good read!

"The second path forward is to make major cuts to Mandatory Spending… which would involve politically unpopular overhauls to Social Security and Medicare."
