But life, unfortunately, is not that consistent \u2014 with seasonal changes in utilities, fluctuating fuel prices and variable grocery bills, planning life on a fixed income <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/the-easy-way-to-budget-for-lifes-surprises\/\">can be difficult<\/a>. This guide is about optimizing how much you spend on the basics, so you have more to go towards the fun stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shift Your Timing, Not Just Spending<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your income comes in on the 3rd, but your phone bill is due on the 1st, that\u2019s a problem waiting to happen. Nowadays, it\u2019s common to request \u2014 and receive \u2014 approval from your service provider to pay on the date of your choosing. Take the time to set up your recurring payments to fall after you receive your check: That way, you can get all the important stuff covered first, and not have to worry about budgeting for it later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some utilities will also offer flat monthly plans. This is a great idea if you live in a varied climate. Heating bills may be negligible over the summer, but a big financial problem over the winter.&nbsp; By spreading the cost out over the year, you\u2019ll be able to plan in a more affordable (and sustainable) way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trim Pharmacy Costs Without Cutting What You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncoa.org\/article\/how-to-save-money-on-medications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medication<\/a> can be unbelievably expensive, especially if you\u2019re encountering severe health problems as you age. But there are many ways to save on medications, too. Here are a few of our best tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask for a 90-day refill<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a pharmacy discount card\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review your meds with your doctor during your annual check-up, with special attention to generic vs. prescription options\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shop around at different local and delivery pharmacies\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan Inexpensive Excursions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Connection brings joy and fulfillment, but it doesn\u2019t have to cost much. Instead of an expensive dinner or travel, check out your senior center for free and affordable classes, events and game nights. Your local library usually has programming specifically for adults and seniors, often with an emphasis on learning about your community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One Step at a Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stretching your income doesn\u2019t mean shrinking your life. By shifting a few things and simplifying others, you make room for the good life, even on a small budget. And if your debts are stopping you from putting the \u201cgolden\u201d in your \u201cgolden years,\u201d Accredited Debt Relief can help. Our debt consolidation program helps seniors save 40% or more on eligible monthly payments, and even get debt-free in as little as 24-48 months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Your Options:<\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns5953_4a9b72-66{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:flex-start;align-items:center;}.kt-btns5953_4a9b72-66 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns5953_4a9b72-66 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5953_4a9b72-66 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5953_4a9b72-66 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5953_4a9b72-66 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5953_4a9b72-66 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5953_4a9b72-66 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5953_4a9b72-66 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns5953_4a9b72-66\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5953_aa3dc5-17.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5953_aa3dc5-17.kb-button{background:#d44012;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5953_aa3dc5-17.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5953_aa3dc5-17.kb-button:focus{background:#952300;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn5953_aa3dc5-17 kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/free-quote\/ocp\/questionnaire\/debt_amount\/\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\"><strong>Talk to Us<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Social Security check is almost always the same, month over month.
