    Social Security Increase
    Chris, You managed to get it right (not making sense) and wrong (the administration did it) at the same time. However, when you get to be an "Old Folk" like me, you may want to do the research to see how Social Security increases are computed. They are based on a Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index. Neither the current President nor the current Congress had any say in the matter unless they wanted to change the law (maybe its one of those dreaded regulations).

    Anyway, I like your values, but in this case I think you should have done more research or stayed with selling windows.
