I foolishly thought Medicare was free until I started to investigate enrollment and the various options for coverage. After talking to a few people I know on Medicare, I estimated by monthly payment to be under $200. Image my surprise when I was informed by the Social Security Administration that my monthly bill for Medicare Part B was $442.30. The payment is a lot less than I’m currently paying for health insurance but more than what I was expecting. I’ll also pay a small amount for a Medicare Advantage plan offered through one of the companies I retired from. My monthly budget is based on a much higher health insurance bill so I’ll have a few extra dollars to spend each month on entertainment once this pandemic ends. Overall, I’m pleased. I will soon be able to terminate my coverage with worst healthcare insurance company in the world. It’s a win.

Building Boom

There’s another round of scraping and building about to start. All of these houses are being torn down in the next 2 months. Buyers are spending unbelievable amounts of cash to get the land. They only care about the size of the lot and the location. They don’t care about the house. When a house sells it’s not a matter of if it will get torn down, but rather, how soon in will be scrapped.
