Started getting my Social Security Check this month

Today I stared getting my Social Security check.  What a wonderful thing.  The only surprise was that my pension check dropped $300.00 since I started getting my Social Security benefit.  I looked back at my original statements from my pension and sure enough after my SSN benefit starts my pension goes down for that amount.  I am only writing about it to let people know that although the joy of getting more money it has a down side to it when getting a corporate pension.  I am very happy with my SSN benefit it does help the monthly cash flow, but the lost of the $300.00 does hurt in the budget side of things.  I am glad that we did not buy the Condo for investment, one less thing to worry about.
I am also very glad that things are starting to turn around in New Orleans, and that people are starting to realized that the first responders were pretty much locked down from coming into the area.  The major and the Governor of Louisiana will have to answer many questions and the laws better start getting change very soon.  All of the Supreme Court decisions for the State will have to be revisited in case of disasters like Katrina, let’s hope that Katrina is the worst we get, I am so worry about WMD’s in our big cities.
