I finally found out today what my Social Security Disability checks will be and that they will start on December 31st of this year. It's only taken many emails and calls to Social Security and my senators office to get it done. It really pays to make a pain in the butt of yourself when dealing with those morons in Social Security. The local office was great, but it's been the idiots in Washington causing all the grief. I hadn't planned on retiring at 62, but my health dictated otherwise. However, I'm starting to really enjoy it. I don't have to be up at any specific time, if the weather is bad I can stay home and watch the snow pile up, etc. As long as I have my DirecTV HD and internet I'm a happy camper.
