I'm sorry to hear that all that happened to you ma'am, but you don't seem to have let it get you down. I doubt that any of us has had an ideal time of it, but compared to you I think that I have had a charmed existence. Hopefully all that will continue, but maybe not. I receive part of my retirement income from the State of Arkansas Retirement System and that will probably continue unabated, but it and lots of other retirement systems are invested in the stock market which as you know isn't doing all that well. I probably don't really have much to worry about though. Arkansas is a balance budget state and so it does not go into debt and probably is doing well compared to other states.
