Up all night do'n nuttin

I were lay'n there on the couch watch'n some crap on TV and figgered I would go to bed early so's I could get up early this morn'n. Well that worked real well. I toss an' turn till 2:30am and then get up at 6:15. Try to go back to bed, but that didn't work neither. The old Billy Bob done got a ass whoop'n from the sleep troll.

Gonna go off to the golf ball swak'n place here in a bit. Will be leav'n a couple clubs at home....the ones that I can't hit in a straight line. I would rather lose one stroke making a lay up than losing 2 or 3 strokes on a redneck hit in the forest or lake. We gonna be play'n at one my favorite courses, St Andrews....no not the one in Switzerland or where ever. It's a tough course and a score of 95 would be a purty good score for old farts 65 plus.

One more thing what I forgot. Change spark plugs and plug wires on "Sally da house". Ok, I Google plug wires. My God, $185 for a set of plug wires.....ain't no way. "But Billy Bob, these are the best plug wires there is and are recommended by every RV forum on the internet". Bla bla bla.....I hear ya.

Gotta check with my financial adviser this morn'n and see if'n I got any money left. I been spend'n like crazy ya know. Ya see, I have a bunch of accounts and my debit card get's it's money from 2 places, my IRA and my personal bank account. All of which are run'n on fumes.

Speak'n of run'n on fumes, how much does it cost a month to live a decent RV'n lifestyle? I know some folks that live and travel on SS alone and still live decent. Others aren't quit that thrifty, requiring additional funds from their savings, annuities or pensions. Are annuities and pensions the same thing??? Had I not retired from The University of Texas, I would have to tighten my "thrift" belt.

Ok, son Robert is ready to go swak a golf ball....already cry'n bout how hot it is....87 degs.

  1. I think it would be a stretch to live only on social security, but people do it.

  2. I make a little extra with a couple of internet programs. Ain't much, but it's enough to pay for any extras I want to get!

    Living on SS is tough, that's for sure!

    Good luck on the gold course!

  4. Don't take the sleep troll along to the golf course. BTW, since I have worked for myself most of my life, I don't have a retirement other than S.S. That is why I still take on a job or two once in awhile. Then I still have to pay into the S.S. account that I am drawing from. Since I paid into it for many decades, I feel I should be exempt. . .

  5. Any why do we have to pay taxes on both SS and money that the PTB tell us we HAVE to take out of the IRA? Feels like double paying for single dipping to me.....

    Make it down towards Houston and we'll take on Tour 18 course - got me some new hand-me-down hybrids.....

  6. Living just on SS ain't all that hard, specially when ya ain't got no choice.
