Any disabled worried about financial survival?

[XanaDUer2]

I get a decent ssdi amount due to some ok salaries I've had, but Medicare and Medicare part D cut into it now. I'm glad to have Medicare.

The bulk of our income comes from my SO. I'm supposed to get early pension at one month after 60 I can apply. Should my SO pass, I can get his pension 10 yrs. If we marry, for life. The cost of living now has me scared.

Anyone else have fears like this being disabled? Thanks for reading

1. What do you mean you can get an early pension one month after 60?

You state you have Medicare and part D which would be over 65. I’m sure I’m reading it wrong.

Anyway, yes it’s scary as heck not knowing the future when things are expensive.

2. I became disabled

I waited 2 yrs to get it. (Medicare). My state alows early money, less, if you take it early

4. I share your concern

In my 70's, limited mobility, on SS, multiple medical issues.
Even with IRA's there remain the fears of major health problems, natural disasters, or cutting of benefits if republicans take over.

IOW, the future remains scary, as it always has been.

5. I'm sorry

Yes, it's scary. Do you have a way of calming your fears sometimes?
