walked with mom for 55 min
We went to a new restaurant and split a pizza. Spent $6
Total spent so far this month = $218.23
I got my Social Security statement today. The one that tells you how much you made up to now and how much you've paid into the system. Each year when I get this I add up the total of what I've made. It's extremely mind-blowing. This is based on the book Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominquez.
According to the statement I started paying Social Security in 1979. I had a few jobs before then but they were for cash so I guess Social Security wasn't taken out. I've earned more than $789,000. WOW! Where did all that money go? I then compare that to my savings/investments and I realize I have about 30% of that money in assets. That's pretty good. I recommend you try this experiment when you get your Social Security Statement. It really makes you think.
I finished reading the library book Back to the Bedroom by Janet Evanovich. Romance. Ok, popcorn book, not as good as her Stephanie Plum series.
