limited income in retirement
#4
i took early retirement, so got the lower SS. it was my choice as i could not take on the new position i was given rather than laying me off. it makes it hard at times. luckily, i have a large stash and already own many of my quilting toys. [i still long for a larger quilting machine on my frame, though]. to continue getting my quilting fix, i can join the senior group who sews charity quilts with donated materials. but for now, i'm catching up on all the quilts i owe to DGKs, etc.

I'm on a fixed income, too, and live alone. I babysit at times and embroider for others also (only those I want to do). I consider this my "little extra" for hobbies. I find my hobbies keep me sane so I'm on less medication for pain so I figure I would rather spend $ on my hobbies than on meds! :)
