Four Facts That Should Make You Smile
<p>I love that we are receiving a 3.2% increase in our Social Security retirement checks. But on a couple of recent Facebook posts on this topic, I was surprised by the number of people who turned this positive into a negative.</p>
<p>One person replied that it wasn’t enough to keep up with inflation. I replied that as of last week, the inflation rate for 2023 averaged 3.1% so at least this increase kept pace. But instead of accepting that, he asked if I really believed that inflation was only 3.1%.</p>
<p>That reply saddened me. We must believe something and in this case, your choice is to believe the government’s numbers and be happy or choose to believe the people that are telling you not to trust those numbers and be angry. I will always err on the side of happiness.</p>
