No Cost of Living Raise For Economically Challenged Folks on Social Security

I'm going to have to learn how to live on a stagnant income for another two years or find a part time job that doesn't mind hiring someone who uses too much sick leave and who is chronically fatigued.. A blue moon is more likely to happen in this poor economy.

Millions of older people face shrinking Social Security checks next year, the first time in a generation that payments would not rise. The trustees who oversee Social Security are projecting there won't be a cost of living adjustment (COLA) for the next two years. That hasn't happened since automatic increases were adopted in 1975.
