looks like i may need to get that solar panel/battery bank plan dusted off. during covid i owned a house with two rentals and used the rentals to make the payment. i had to have the rentals full to make it work. covid happens, family of 5 in the cabin get 600 ea to pay rent so 3k. but the guberment says go buy a new tv, economic stimulus,,,dont worry about rent the landlord cant evict you. i still pay mortgage, commercial insurance,lawyer ect. so they stop paying. one renter moves to nebraska and does not tell me for 2 months. finally calls, wants security deposit back and would you mind packing all my stuff in the truck i left. had a cat & dog place trashed. second renter family of 5 stops paying. smelting gold in my garden from the mine they have down the road. yes, really. by the time they lift the eviction ban and i can evict them my c/c maxed, savings gone. they paid and moved out the day ban lifted. by the time i rehabbed the damage on both units i decide maybe rentals are not for me. so i sell the house in a down market at a loss and move into a bus in the parking lot behind a business i own free and clear. 100' from highway, 130' from train tracks in the flight path of airport 6 miles away. the atv/dirt bike path in front bothers me the least. all the peace and serenity of living in a freeway under pass. anyway i get a electric bill for the cabin today from 1-21 they didn't pay. 105$ i cant get food stamps, heating assistance none of it because im self employed. this is not the first time. the electric was in renters name they have another account that the city could attach this 4 year old bill to,,, but wont. last one was different renter 300$ same thing and i fought it up to the state atty general. i forget what they reduced it to but to keep the rental i paid it. my income now is 580 a month. i have health issues from eating mre and mountain house for over a year and cant afford good food. im livid. il talk to them tomorrow but i expect the same thing i got last time. applying for s/s medicare tomorrow. i did a zoom call at the senior center about s/s today. on a positive note i changed arthritis meds and i can go up and down stairs again one at a time. soooo A. shut up and pay it B. fight it again C. unplug from the grid will cost est 600$ to close account & remove meter D.sue? E. ??? fuck me to tears.
I'd be tempted to go with E. ???, but that could get you sent to prison. I'd go with A. and pay 10% of my monthly income, in you case $5.80 per month. Also, applying for s/s medicare isn't gonna help, because without the social security check you will have to pay the monthly premiums yourself...mine amounts to $225 per month. You might have to look into a Medicare Advantage plan that could cost you nothing but has limitations. The Medicare Advantage plan could help with food, and other things. These plans have limitations in coverage, and many people advise against them. I don't have a Medicare Advantage plan.
combination B. and A. call da state atty general agin, see if dey can help reduce it as much as possible, etc wish dis wasnt da case, sadly yer AO dont git enuff solar radiation, C aint gonna werk too gud if ya was in da lower 48 in a more ideal location [ NM, AZ, TX, NV, CA ] ya might be able ta git solar ta werk bttr [ still costs too much per KWh tho ]
i like the 5.80 a month plan,,,, yeah not worth three hots and a cot. i can pay it,, but it really irks me. definitely medicare, not medicade. sis has that so im familiar with that rabbit hole. 5.80 it is. thanks.
i seem to say thankyou alot on here. b&a with 5$ a month. solar is a bit unrealistic in a rain forest. family has suggested going back to the lower 48. at this point i need to stop being a whiny bitch and be grate full for what i have and adapt. il get there just had to vent a little.,,, ok alot.
But Medicare isn't free (well Part A is free but Parts B and D cost), and Medicaid is free! Are you ready to fork over 1/2 of your monthly income until you reach 68 years of age, and you have to pay 3 months at a time, so that's $675 every three months! Alaska is no place to be old, in bad health and broke!
