Watched a show the other night about the American family debt. It continues to grow and grow. SIGH.......
We were blessed in that just before I retired, we paid off everything, farm, truck, car, etc, except the Monty. We could do that too, but I'm keeping that one because it's the only tax deduction we've got left. And it does help........!
It's been a bit tight, but we're managing. And next year, I can start drawing social security. That will definitely help. Might be able to take an extra trip, and cook a dinner with REAL food, instead of having to pick up "road kill" along the way!!
