A warm welcome to the community from me @perriscope How are you doing today?
It's great to see that you've been finding your way around the community already. If you have any questions about using the site, please just let us know.
The cost of living crisis is definitely worrying, and I think we've all been feeling the effects. Is there anything specifically that's worrying you about it? -

I can imagine retiring during this time could bring about some concerns @perriscope. Have you been able to plan ahead to work out what your budget will be, and how you might be able to make it work? It's difficult with everything being so uncertain.
It's lovely hear that you feel right at home -
Hello @perriscope! It’s lovely to have you join us on the community. Thank you for sharing your story.
I am so sorry to hear about your spinal stenosis, that must be very difficult to live with. Likewise, the raising cost of living is a concern for many families. We sometimes have discussions about this at home. Congratulations for Retirement!Community Volunteer Host with a passion for human rights.
Please note: if I use the online community outside of its hours of administration, I am doing so in a personal capacity only.
