2025, how low can we go?

 Miss Charlotte has decided SHE gets the glider in the front room. LOL She wasn't happy with the wooden rocker in the dining room. She usually sits in the recliner rocker in the front room that is Hubby's place to sit when he isn't at the desk.

SO, Son2 was putting together a spreadsheet for us to keep track of finances. He been sick, been on medical leave for over 90 days and still running more testing. So it's something for him to do.

He realized that if he goes on full disability, he can pay the bills but he won't have money to by groceries or replace his 2005 car.... then said he didn't think we could just live on only Social Security. 

I told him he had to have 3 months income saved in 1 yr also. 

He came back with GAME ON... 

We did agree to not count food or paper products since I garden and he doesn't and there are 2 of us and only 1 of him. His cats supplies equal our costs for Charlotte. 

We decided to run it mid month to mid month due to when we get our Social Security and he get's paid every 2 wks. He asked to start it the 15th of this MONTH.

No problem. We noted what was already in accts. and I suggested we move what ever is in the accts. on 14th to be moved to savings but not counted as the 3 months. He agreed. 

I don't know if he really thinks we can not live on Social Security alone or if boredom is causing him to make a game out of cutting his expenses.  We have medical costs he doesn't but he has heating and water/sewage costs we don't. Hubby thinks Son 2 will quit/give up before 3 months. But I will stick it out just to prove a point.
