Economy

Retired factory, hourly worker and collecting SS. I worke 30 years because when I higher in, the union had got us 30 and out. I bought into and only knew a very few others that did.
I hired in at 22 and retired at 52 and that was that was 24 years ago. I had to really work for that goal. I couldn’t afford a lot of bills, so I paid off everything. Made my last car payment in 1982. Have paid cash for car and I’m in my 3rd home I’ve paid cash for.
I’ve recently reached my goal of not paying any interest, only collecting it.
I’m pretty thrifty. Buy all of my cloths at resale shops and yard sales. Shop 3 food stores because each one is cheapest on something I eat.
But that’s just me and my hobby.
