Question: If already receiving, how close was your monthly benefit compared to the estimate provided by SSA? (If you don’t mind me asking a general question. If you want to answer, you can PM.) There’s $600/mo difference in mine between 63 & 65.

I worry about those on SS already who aren’t that tech savvy or aware. If someone gets ahold of all their info, emails them something created with AI that looks very authentic because it has all their data correct, and knows things only they think they should know, it could be very bad. Heck. They got me even though I was always careful. Like this, someone else poached the goat. Beginning to wonder if this had any effect on Musk’s leaving when he did. He didn’t cut near as much as promised, and some of his people misused our data? Hmmm… I was for the cutting. But, this isn’t good.

I'm in overlooking the EC schedule in this thread or has it not yet been posted?

Took mine early as well, ran the numbers in excel and saw the same. Figured we’d enjoy it while we’ll still active.

They’re not Trump. They’re not Trump. They’re not Trump. They’re not Trump. Ad nauseum… Thought I’d save her the time. 😁

Instead of bashing Trump why don’t you post what you love about the Democrat Party.

One can hope they tell the people as soon as possible where we can make decisions about what we want to do to protect ourselves. But, I just get this nasty feeling someone would prefer to save it for an ‘October Surprise.’

No I was asking what about Ragusa… in reference to Scales being the best Orangefield player you have seen in 30 years

As bad as it sounds, my wife and I have discussed her situation, and are debating taking hers early. With her Parkinson’s Plus, she’s already on borrowed time. I was trying to wait until at least 65. 2 more years. Actually, 1 year & 11 months.

They got mine from DoD database. Another government foo foo. I don’t use a debit card other than as a Pulse card at my Credit Union’s machines when I need cash for gas. Too direct a link to your bank account for me—with no protections like a credit card. Even then, very rarely. I go in half the time. Also gives me a chance to visit.

I did the math and I am choosing to draw at 62. If I waited till I am 67 to draw full benefits, it would take me to I am 82 to make up that difference. I am probably dead before then.

Had my identity stolen….from where, I don’t know. My identity was used to apply for a Home Depot credit card in Conroe. As soon as one is approved for their card, you can charge up to $5,000 that same day. The thief did just that and got about 5 grand worth of merchandise. I later received the plastic card in the mail, which was suspicious because I already had a HD card. That’s when I checked with HD and they investigated, I talked with Conroe police but they never caught them. Haven’t had any more problems. I know some people who refuse to swipe their debit cards at businesses. They will go to the bank and get cash. Seems a bit inconvenient but no one can steal their info. Be careful at gas stations and off beat stores.

I’m trying to hold off as long as possible. I have a Social Security account & set one up for my wife as well when they stopped mailing the yearly benefits papers. But honestly, I haven’t checked it in a very long time until today. I just know no one wants to have to deal with identity theft.

I am concerned and I start drawing my SS in two months.

I guess the Epstein files are more important… Did anyone even read the article in the first post of this thread? It says the Administration admitted in January 2026 that THE ENTIRE SOCIAL SECURITY DATABASE was uploaded to an unsecured cloud storage, and the government has no clue exactly how to even find out if it’s been hacked, disseminated elsewhere, or how to get it back!!! Anyone who has ever been issued a SSN has personal data involved. Even mother’s maiden names, addresses, emails, bank routing numbers, phone numbers, DOB’s, town of birth, race, gender…EVERYTHING the government has collected about you from the IRS or anywhere else. The government has acknowledged the loss of the information. They’re just not sure if it’s been hacked yet, and they can’t seem to get it all back. This should scare everyone. But whatever. Back to Epstein. 🤷‍♂️

North Shore picked up Lancaster for Week 1

Don’t be surprised if WOS beats Carthage in wk 5

The person you just quoted is a Carthage fan.

Has Scales signed or has any offers?

IF your supposedly not on a list, yet protecting big names is this a crime? Seems were bout to find out

He is a pathological liar. I dont believe anything that he says

I see nothing’s changed with yall! Carthage has Blown out every team they’ve played in the state championship for at least the last 8 they’ve played in. If you know who were still coaching WOS and had gotten the same results, Luck , Voodoo, Magic, Rabbit feet, Lucky Charm…none of those things would have been mentioned for a reason why WOS made it to state and every excuse imaginable would have been found to explain them losing! Yall are all cowards, among other things , why not say it with your FULL CHEST, I Hate the current coach and the staff at WOS and will never give them credit for anything, you’d get a lot more respect. BTW every other loss that WOS has had in the State Championship game has been by double digits, with at least one coming AFTER BLOWING an 18 point halftime lead, now that was some GREAT COACHING in that game!
