We can’t control what others do and we can’t stop misfortune from striking. But we can control our own actions. Those who are financially prudent will most likely enjoy success, even if events don’t always go their way.

Absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Trump or any President for that matter. Nothing. It’s all a fixed formula based on inflation.

We can thank President Trump for a tax cut, jobs, more people moving back into the workforce, wage increases, stock market highs and low inflation. When cost of goods and services do not go up much, you get a low COLA. I like the low gasoline prices, I remember paying $1 more for gas on my vacation in 2015. Saving money on the things I purchase and living well in retirement is what I like, not a bigger COLA, that I have to pass on to the merchants because of higher inflation.
