2. You can wait for Terry to hit that age too and with her check too, you could be pulling in about $3500 together! Hey, that’ll pay the light bill and and the pantry every month.

3. You can sign up for medicare and get a free physical! Depending on the doctor and what they include in the physical, you may have the following checked free of charge: vision, bone mass, cardiovascular, general health, blood pressure, and more.
