I'm going on 65 and I'm only getting $941 a month from ss. No savings, but a paid for house in CA. With prop. 13 tax exemption. I inherited it from my wife, about a year ago who inherited from her dad. So property tax is cheap at about $ 1500 a year. I get food stamps and I just squeek by. I'm on medi-cal too. All my money and friends moved far away. I don't have a car either. But what the heck. I'm happy and talk to people but I could really use a couple thousand a year for prop taxes. I retired at 62 1/2 .

I have no family, no kids and am flying solo. I must admit it’s awful. Right now, I’m grieving the loss of a beloved cat and honestly, my life is not good. I spend too much time in my head. Truly, society doesn’t give two straws about the elderly. I’m very glad you both care enough to do these videos.

The way to help yourself is to help someone else. Obviously, not with money, but just listen to them when they talk. Their interests and concerns will get you out of your head. Comparing their worries to yours will show you how small your problems really are. Losing a cat, when that cat was your best friend, is tough. I've lost several.

Need help from debtors

I appreciate you making these videos. I am so glad that I am 100% debt free. I don't owe anyone anything and I pay just $354 a YEAR in property taxes. I can't imagine having credit card payments, car payments, a mortgage, or any other debt. It would be too stressful to have debt.

If you don't pay your debt then your credit becomes shot. If you try to find a cheaper place to live you won't be able to becuz of your credit score. Plus moving is expensive. Also, it's hard to get Section 8 housing. So many on the list and usually the housing is in areas where the seniors don't feel safe. Wish this would have been covered.

Thank you, but I'm suggesting a little less repetition about debt forgiveness and more about eliminating a car and getting free transportation through medicare and senior centers, and ordering grocery delivery online. In my area, instacart offers very speedy delivery of groceries, within a few hours! The cost is about $20 each time which includes the driver tip, and most of these store services accept EBT. So by doing this twice a month, it's only $40 to have your groceries delivered right to your door. Each individual item is priced slightly higher, which shouldn't be the case, but it's doable and easy. Walmart is excellent as usual, I'm not within range to get their grocery delivery, but when I choose the SHIPPING option, I can order many non perishable foods and anything else I need, with FREE SHIPPING for orders over only $35! And their shipping is very fast! Yes, we're quite isolated without a car, but seeking out the available alternatives and making a few plans to get out with friends counteracts that.

I’m a solo senior interested in Senior issues. I worked for over 40 years as a Registered Nurse. I notice you say that Social Security is protected by law. In my experience that’s not entirely true. I had a couple elderly very sick patients that had federal Student Loans and a portion of their Social Security was being garnished by the government for the student loan repayment. Despite the fact that the doctor had written a letter to Social Security telling them how I’ll this man was. He was on hemodialysis, kidney failure, heart failure, diabetes and yet believed he must continue to work, until the day he passed out at work. He was continually so worried about the Student Loans.

It seems your video just solved my problem I didn't want to face, but I MUST accept what you've suggested. But how do we deal with our conscience? I'm struggling financially at 80 in social security, but my conscience won't let me not pay one of my large monthly bills that I have, in which if I didn't pay it, I could survive ok then. There's no money at all left over each month to pay for home, car, or even clothes, repairs and/or for things that just normally wear out or for the unexpected or the un-planned for. When I took the loan I had a plan to work to pay it. But now I physicall can't work. I"m a happy person as long as I live in the moment and ignore my problems. But suddenly I'm finding that ignoring my needs is only making them pile up until now, suddenly I've come face to face with a huge pile and some of it has to be dealt with NOW. It appears that your advice is what I needed to hear and somehow actually do. A thousand thanky's and hugs. :)

I called the HELPS line and a nice lady answered. I sought advice on what to do when I visited the judge over my pending eviction. In my 67 years I have never been in a situation like this. She told me HELPS is just for any help I need getting creditors to stop harassing me. I told her that could be more of a problem if I didn't have a block on my phone. Right now it is far down the list. If harassing creditors isn't your problem or isn't the problem you need help with right away then this isn't the help you need. Nice of them to do what they do though,

I’m a senior o SS trying to go back to work part time but about 6 months ago while driving on the freeway in California the accelerator cable in my car 2006 Santa Fe got stuck and the car accelerated with my foot off the gas. I was terrified and thought I was going to crash but thank God I was able to exit the freeway and eventually able to stop the vehicle. Hyundai has discontinued the needed part and have refused to assist after keeping the car for weeks. I had previously spent thousands on repairs and now stuck with a car I can’t drive. After 6 months I managed to get a cable from another vehicle but it had the same problem which my mechanic bonded temporarily. Needless to say, I’m terrified to drive it because it over-accelerates. Is there any help for someone like me. I can still work but I need reliable transportation. Plus need to safely get around to doctors appointments and grocery etc. Please advise. Thank you.

I have my own personal story about Hyundai that was a nightmare from hell. Live & learn, even at our age.

Where can I buy homeowners insurance when I am poor? I own my house outright and can't afford insurance for it. They want over $200 a month to insure my small 1938 home! That would be like having a mortgage again.

They take mine right out of my direct express before I even get my money.

@@janiceplace7519 how exactly would you know? Fact is I was unjustly denied Social Security survivor benefits. My wife and I both worked our entire lives and paid into that system. I was and continue to be targeted by a few “Karen’s”, and my service dog for PTSD was unjustly taken away. I don’t know if you have PTSD or not (I guess not) but once the PTSD response is elicited you are in fight/flight and you don’t come out of that quickly. So my guess is you don’t think LGBTQ+ community Members deserve the same right as you to marriage and the benefits that come with it.

You talking about protected income what about a check that comes from the county to help with raising a foster child. I've had a garnishment issued and they're taking it out of that account

Twice the amount of monthly SS is deposited is protected automatically from garnishment regardless of the actual funds in the account. Many if not most states protect this money. But its not automatic you have to file a challenge to garnishment to have the money released Eric HELPS

It might depend on the type of debt. If your primary residence is Free & Clear (mortgage paid in full), it is highly unlikely to lose your home. If you still have an outstanding balance on your mortgage, but you always pay the monthly payment on time, no late payment or current arrears, then it is highly unlikely to lose your home. However, if you had a repair (like a new roof, etc.) made to your home and a Mechanics & Materialman Lien was placed on your primary residence, then it is possible for you to have title issues on your property, and a judgment against you. If you are talking about debts like credit cards, car loans, medical debts, anything not attached or related to your primary residence, then you will not lose your home (these types of debt can be put in a Bankruptcy filing).

Add'l. cash is going to be hard to come by. You might try contacting your local Area on Aging office to see what they might recommend. You could try getting his name of a list for HUD housing, for seniors & disabled, which would take less of his cash thereby leaving him for money for personal items.

Used cars cost more than $5k. That's more than they allow for personal property. How can we even live in our car if we don't own one and buying one will kick us off of disability. I'm referring to SSI. I'm 55, disabled and about to be homeless with pets and no car to move into. What can I do?

Why will you be homeless? Is your landlord making you leave? This is so sad. Your pets and you need a home. It doesn't sound like much, but I'm praying to God you and your sweet pets have a home to live in that is safe and comfortable and affordable. And that all of you have food to eat and you can be warm when winter comes.

If you are disabled, then you are disabled, you cannot be "kicked off disability" due to car loan, or car value, or total personal property. You can be disqualified for assistance that targets low-income people. such as SNAP benefits, Section 8/Housing Voucher, utility assistance, etc. Decide if you & your partner/roommate are going to stay together or separate, because that will make a difference in how much a couple can put towards rent, or much lower amount to put towards rent as single-person residences. You will likely need to rent an apartment instead of a house because you are now priced out of renting a house (just like abled-body people in the current economic conditions). You probably need to reassess whether you & roommate can continue to be pet owners, considering the amount of funds that need to go towards their feeding & care. Look into PAWS, they are a "no kill" animal shelter that places animals into new homes.

States WILL garnish social security benefits for 25 year old past child support arrears. $182.30 a month from a $702 monthly income that is a senior's SOLE SOURCE OF SURVIVAL. Forcing the senior to live in their car. And NO ONE can stop it, even when the senior goes on SSI.
