    Wink, you always do such an amazing job at keeping a low budget. I'm curious, is your health care cost remaining the same or will it go down when you are eligible for Medicare?

    Grateful Saver: Thank You! Yes, when I go on Medicare in another 3 years my cost will go down quite a bit. My former employer will still pick up a portion of the cost and I think the last time I tried to estimate it based on what it would cost me today, my monthly cost would decrease by at least a third, maybe a bit more depending on what surround or advantage plan I choose. And, when I take Social Security in another 4 years my monthly income will go up quite a bit too. Just have to hang tight for the next few years and things will get easier.
