The only time I do Starbucks now is when I drop of my car for some maintenance. SB is across the street from the repair shop and it's only a two block walk home after I splurge. Wish I could get the car repair down to 8.90.

(11,613 posts)My monthly payment went DOWN by $7.00. due to a $50.00 increase in Part D on top of the $17.90 Part B increase.
When is a raise not a raise? When you're receiving Social Security! Yeah!!!

The practice of using tax returns from two years ago for verified retirees is just insane.
