The government just spit in the face of retirees. Washington gave us a 2.8% benefit bump for 2026 while key costs like fuel oil surged by as much as 74% over the past year, with dental work and grocery staples like turkey and ground beef rising between 5% and 8.4%. The official formula relies on working-class spending habits rather than what retirees actually pay, creating a gap that can steadily drain your savings. Do not let an index built for workers jeopardize your lifestyle or financial freedom. You earned respect, not a formula that overlooks your bills. Open the article to see where your raise may fall short, then call me and put your real bills on the table. edbutowsky.substack.com/p/th…
