New book... do you think he intends to
supplement his SS with book sales ?
PRESS RELEASE
Seniors—Can you make it on Social Security?
New Book shows how
Long Beach. CA – (Release Date August 1, 2007)
(Source: U.S. Census – Poverty Threshold; Press Office Fact Sheet – Social Security Basic Facts, February 2007; Personal Experience)
You think the days have passed when seniors survived on dog and cat food? Media hype may have moved on to what Paris Hilton had for lunch but the practice continues.
In today’s workforce, 53% have no private retirement coverage, 32% have no savings for retirement. That’s 85% of all workers with nothing set aside specifically for old age. Social Security represents 39% of all elderly income. For 65% of 33 million retired workers Social Security makes up more than half their income. Maybe that’s you. For 22% Social Security is their only income. That’s me. Could be that’s you too. Average Social Security benefit income is about $1,000 a month. Most do not even get that. Are you making it on $12,000 to $15,000 a year or less?
I am.
I am not a professional advice giver. I have no degrees or certificates that allow me to legally counsel others. I’m just a guy making it on Social Security. My intent is for many of you to discover through my errors and small victories ways you might not have known before to make it on Social Security. If not to show you the way then to give you germs of ideas you might expand on that will work for you.
Mostly I have written of my own experience, what has and has not worked for me. Background history is used to explain how I got to where I am. Optimistically you can use some of that to find a way that works for you.
In this little book, we’ll explore health, food, housing, finances, travel, entertainment, work, socializing and even romance – all on our monthly Social Security. Let me show you how we can live well cheaply; let me show you how I’m doing it.
