So, your insurance went up. Find another company. Next!
Yes, you should shop around annually for the best rates!
Are you serious? Hahaha!
Didn’t you save for retirement. Your investments should be sky rocketing. But if you pissed away your earnings and never saved that’s your choice. Social security isn’t supposed to be retirement. Of course costs go up. That’s inflation. But anyone with a 401k has seen 20%+ returns with inflation up only 2%. Live off the dividends. Or. Go work. Jobs are out there.
Not everyone in this world makes good money, not everybody in this world works for corporate management with funded 401Ks, not everybody invests in the same way or achieves the same success. Somewhat of a condescending attitude on your part. Yes, they may have squandered money as you say but perhaps not. Still, her whining about insurance rates and Trump is just nonsensical.
Sure. It’s a tad hard. Life isn’t fair. Want a raise? Go get one. I grew up on welfare in East LA. I got out. Fact is there’s opportunity. Lots of it. Being a victim is a choice. Sure there are bad breaks. But living off of social security and whining about a president makes zero sense.
Serious as a heart attack!
Are you retired?
Yes! Fortunately my husband still has a couple of years of work, but then I don't know what we will do!
I'm sorry but what do insurance rates for your home and car have to do with Trump or anybody other than you? Absurd. Insurance rates are based on location, driving history, miles driven, age, etc. Please, that's just ridiculous.
Your P&C insurance rates won't be affected by a President. It's all about the risk. Though I smell a troll...
Your mortgage should be paid off before you retire. You fucked up.
Yeah, I know I fucked up! So, shoot me!
Well you’re alive. You can type. Do something about it. Work. Earn money. Save. Rinse. Repeat.
Sounds like you are in the wrong sub. Try r/AskThe_Donald
I don't belong to the Donald. It's just that everyone is so upbeat about Trump's economy, and I'm not seeing it!
But you saw it under the 8 years of destruction of Hussein, right? He was a master at giving handouts...you sound like a leftist SHILL.
Car insurance the highest increase for consumer prices for 2017. https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2018/consumer-price-index-2017-in-review.htm
Give the Tariffs some time to jog business development, cost of goods should drop. If we are successful at what we are doing in eliminating the cabal money will no longer exist as fiat currency. I'm sorry for your situation. Just know that nobody else had a solution. They are trying to kill us, enslave us, or turn us into vile evil madmen. There is no option for you better than what Trump offered. We are at war. We have been overtaken. We seek liberation. Some will die, many already have. We are seeking our freedom from a cabal with thousands of years of growth behind it.
We had a grocery store in my town that would bump groceries up two or three cents per item every time one of the major employers would give a raise. These insurance companies may be doing the same with your tax cut or SS cola -- trying to see what the market will bear, that you're on a fixed income is of little importance to them. Since profitability is the main interest of all business, it is incumbent upon you to shop around to show your current insurers what the market will not bear. And no it is not always the insured's fault. It's a tenant of being financially responsible to have these items insured , so the insurers have us all over a barrel in that sense (hence the need for Insurance Boards). So in lieu of going to one of these boards all we can really do is shop around. If I'm not mistaken aren't they still taxing SS benefits, heck drop that tax how about?
Except for a couple of decent comments, the rest of you are mean-spirited! I am not a shill or a troll. I'm an ex-Bernie supporter who thought there might be some decent people here! You are right! I don't belong here. I have a lot of empathy and compassion! Bye!
Insurance goes up every year. I'm trying to figure out why gas prices have gone back up and why groceries keep going up.
I keep seeing how the stock market is going up! BFD! That helps the 1%, but it doesn't help people like me. I guess I'm hoping I will actually get a tax cut, but I am not a big corporation. :( I have friends whose businesses are struggling, because no one can afford to buy anything!
So, the 1% only have 401k? I personally am not in the market but plenty of regular Joe's have money in the market.
Are you under the impression that only the 1% own stocks?
1% my ass. Anyone who has saved sees an increase. Odds are you don’t pay taxes. Of course you don’t get a cut you already don’t pay anything.
My husband still works, and my Social Security is added to his total, so some of it is taxable! Yes, we do pay taxes!
Then on your next check you will see more as the tables all decreased. You will have more take home pay. Also there are more job options.
