if a starbucks is still $5 that might be cheaper than a cup at home.

at Starbucks, so you're going need to save up that increase a couple of months.

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.

I thought the increases didn't happen until January, OK then, mine is coming the 4th Wednesday of December on Christmas Eve.

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!!!

Unless I can convince them agin that my income is now zero as it was at the beginning of this year.
The practice of using tax returns from two years ago for verified retirees is just insane.
