Notes
- I'm not currently working.
- I decided to retire at age 63 on January 15, 2021.
- I moved to El Paso, TX to live with one of my sisters and be able to live off my Social Security pension of $2,150.00 a month.
- I lived there for almost two years.
- Living in El Paso, TX wasn't really for me, so I ended up moving back here to the Phoenix area on November 20, 2022. I currently live in an apartment in Phoenix, AZ, but in order to make ends meet I have to use money from my retirement.
