He does not get OT-fixed income. Depending on the conversation, some people think they are exclusive because of their 'fixed income'. I just roll my eyes and laugh.
I also don't get the "fixed income". Really, unless you have a money tree in your backyard, we're ALL on a fixed income. As a retiree, my income is considerably less than it was a few years ago, but it's no more fixed than it was then!
