Ruth Less

Ruth spends her night reading library novels, watching Netflix movies and living in terror of chipping a tooth “because she can’t afford to go to a dentist."  Once-babe Ruth Madoff in Truth and Consequences out Monday.  NYP

Welcome to the life of millions of retirees like me existing on Social Security!

Amazon book blurb: "Muzzled by lawyers, vilified by the media and roundly condemned by the public, the Madoffs have chosen to keep their silence—until now. Ultimately, theirs is one of the most riveting stories of our time: a modern-day Greek tragedy about money, power, lies, family, truth and consequences."

  4. " existing on Social Security" is tough.  But look at the bright side; we get a raise in January! (Assuming they don't fiddle with the COLA formula.)
