Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

Your pal, Jess

F.Y.I. There are about 2200 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

(SSA+SSI)+(WAG!+Non-wag)
(3942 +1319.83) +(245.50 +625) = 6132.33

     $166.34/ month
$870.50/6 (just 2020 -6 months- earned income, wag+non-wag)
     $145.08/ month

I could just say-
I've earned about a thousand dollars, dog walking, Jan thru June 2020

Those are the averages.   June, the highest month, I earned $388-.
388-  = 63- (Wag), + 100- (Kaleb), + 225 (Snoopy)

SGA (Substantial Gainful Activity), is $1260/month, this year (2020)
That was my SAT score! (570m/690v) :-)

It got kind of convoluted.  Sorry.
It's all for the first 6 months of 2020.  January through June.
There's only 6 numbers you need to know (in USD):
   SSA,            3942-
   SSI,             1319.83
   (5/28) stimulus,     1200-
   Wag!,          245.50
   (3/30) class action lawsuit settlement payment,    127.58
   and non-wag.  625-

The confusion is what is earned income and non-earned income
and what counts/doesn't toward SGA (Substantial Gainful Activity);
I like to do math, and figure things out, but maybe
I should have googled the answers to these questions first,
or called SSA.  But that stresses me:
I'd rather figure things out myself.

Wag! Yearly Income, 2016-2019 (for comparison):
2016, $4629.10 (started in march)
2017, $2216.90
2018, $237.30 (11 walks)
2019, $968-
2020, $245.50  (so far, a/o June)
  TOTAL (for fun): 8296.80 (397 walks), almost 400!

The 2020 tax threshold (right word?) is: $10,400 gross income
(single, under 65) you must file for taxes if
you have made at least $10,400
7/15 is tax day (this year) (extended, usually 4/15)

I can't remember my earnings estimate.  Did I come out over or under?
OU, ME (over, under) (meet, exceed) (SGA 2020 is $1260/month, or more)
That's $15,120 a year.
    I went to the local SSA office not long ago to report increased rent, decreased earnings- but was told they'll call me, or don't worry about it, or something.
So I went home.
