Oh!, Oh!, besides our savings, I received a $55.50 check from a class action lawsuit against Progressive because they underpaid customer claims.
The lawyers received $10M.
I'm not sure if there is more to come, or how I fit in. I did have one vehicle totaled and another damaged from Hurricane Micheal.

Yeah, the lawyers usually get the lion's share of such suits. I think most of those suits are considered "punishment" of the "wrong doer" rather than making those "wronged" whole.

Heh, heh, I'd rather have the money than the punishment.

I just recalled that I got into one of these lawsuits years ago. It was some "stock deal" or some such that I guess I had participated in years before. Honestly (and I'm ashamed of this) when the paperw*rk rolled in - I had no idea what it was for. I filled it all out and, amazingly, I got several hundred dollars in compensation.



I couldn't really recall exactly what for. I finally recalled that I had actually bought something (with that name) and never paid attention to it. In the end, I'm sure I lost money, but the chunk of money I got from the suit was nice at the time. YMMV

Roughly in descending order:

1. RMD roll over IRA
2. SS
3. 2nd RMD inherited IRA
4. Roth
5. non cola pension
6. Mad Monet - taxable dividends and cap gains - varies by year.
7. Farm - Two govt. checks - land CRP-2 and this year 'Pollinator Habitat'.

Heh heh heh - Of course DW came at age 70 with a boatload of non monetary and monetary assets - tall cotton at age 80!!!

I am 67 retired, DW is 63 and still working, until 65
Current income.

1. DW salary (for now)

Once DW retires, we will add her pension and her SS at some point
