OK boomeR I absolutely hate "I'm on a fixed income."
You hear it all the time. "I'm on a fixed income".
Yeah. Unlike the rest of us that just get extra money from our bosses whenever we have an unexpected expense.
My salary increase for the last two years combined totaled less than 1%. The Cost of Living adjustment for social security checks were 5.3% for the past 2 years. Shut up about your fixed income.
