Technology has been improving every year lately.
I look forward to the next, newer models.
There is always a difference between the aid and my good ear; but it gets closer every new model I get.
Good thing I'm not addicted to shoes.
Cpap and hearing aids are both expensive habits.

Cpap and hearing aids are both expensive habits.
You better not look at your annual food bill then.
Or your annual housing expense.

We paid off the mortgage year before last, best investment ever.
I had to raid the IRA to do it, but the break even point was a little over a year,
Doing the math, we figured the tax bite was offset by the saved mortgage interest in about 14 months.
After that, it's like getting an extra check every month. Nice.

You mean to tell me there are Americans whose houses and cars aren't owned by the bank? If that catches on, won't the entire economy fall apart?

The "banks" were no help, probably because for every home they finance for the entire term,
they get three houses profit. With a credit union, we were able to reduce our principal many times quicker.
