I am retired person i work part time & I wanted to some difference. my hobby is working on my (true) MAC computer I do use my DV Cam, take video & pictures, like family event & gathering & church functions & anything else, that catches my interest. So I decided, do something difference. So I thought, I would try this field of activity, since it involves Computer. i love anything Electronics! There's,. so much new stuff coming out, so that where a lot of my money goes. I also found, it is also Fun to travel & explore other countries. Tho' I only done this once. I went to Kharkov (Kar-a-kov) , Ukraine. Found the people friendly, even helpful. There it was 8 to 1 dollar. I was like a rich man, well for 2 weeks. Never done This, so I am trying to learn how to do. I worked 25 years at a major air craft manufacturer. (the last 25 yrs in one spot) Was blessed,with getting to retire at 57 1/2 years old. I was starting to have some health problem (from exposure to everything there/ my opinion) A pension to live on& pretty good health, to still work (out in the fresh air). At 62 years old I got my Soc. Sec. & was working part time. at 63 years old. 1st year after S. S.. SURPRISE!` I found out........... , I went way over the S.S. cap (my money, their rules) and had to pay back $4800! Big OUCH! (t]hat's $400 a month) With help of the owner of the Local H&R; Block told what I need to do, so would not happen next year. The Lord put people in my life when I need them. So now (they tell how much, i can make, till I turn 70 YRS old) I can't work a lot, or I get penalized by Uncle Sam, Who givings my back (10% of it?). I still do what i can, to avoid the pit falls of S.S. It's a challenge......., to see if & what I can do & still do what I like & while playing their games (gov't). I ]as told before, I retired, that "you are busier, after you, retire" & it is true. Just be sure to plan ahead, so you have the money to do those things. I live pretty for the most part, fairly well. Just wish I could travel more, thisq`` may be the way!
