I'm that guy too! 8 years ago I bought my current home for $346.5k in an online bank auction. Even though it had been vacant for 3 years and was severely run down, it was tax assessed at $500k. 8 years later I'm at $950k assessed value. WTF Clark County! If I could afford a million dollar home I would have bought a million dollar home, and if you think my income has doubled in 8 years you are mistaken. There is a program for senior property tax relief but I will never qualify.

Went out to visit my son, mom, dad and a little run about.

I'm waiting another year & a half to start collecting SS, which is my full retirement age. Submit is 3 years younger than me & I think we'll have her start collecting when I do. Her her check will be much smaller & it really won't make much of a financial difference to us when she starts collecting.

Just remember her SS is tied to yours. She may be eligible for part of yours, which will make her payments larger depending on how much she is eligible for.
It worked for us, but- the big but was my wife always had part time jobs where she didn't pay a lot into the system. It basically doubled her SS benefit.

I took my Mom's old car out for about 100 miles today. I know she was in the passenger seat, enjoying the beautiful day.
Mom passed in 1993, and left me her car. It was a major project and her favorite thing, and I would have spent twice the time and money to keep it going... in her memory.

You're a good man, a better man than me and yes, she was your copilot today!

I couldn't finish my son's car after 20 years, four engines, three transmissions, and four rearends. I sent it to a friend for him to finish the last time for himself. I'd like to think he would have understood. Great story and thanks for sharing....Ulli

Wife and I drove to the next town over for the Sunday night show and shine. "440 Dart" (Terry) from A Bodies was there with his Dart as well.

Went to a "Postponed" car show

The show was advertised two weeks ago with a rain date this Saturday. It rained last Saturday. So this Friday afternoon I gave the '62 a sponge bath, dusted the interior. Got up Saturday morning to blue skies and sunshine. Not calling for any rain until after 5pm. Headed out, stopped for a splash of gas, get to the location and the sign says "Postponed". Well at least I got her out for a romp.
