Consider Bill and Ann, a couple who own a home valued at $208,000, the recent median sales price for existing homes. Doing so will provide them a two-bedroom, two-bath home with 1,000 to 1,200 square feet. Homeowner association dues cover outdoor work such as lawn mowing. Next, they buy a manufactured home for $65,000 to $70,000 - a common price level for manufactured-home resales in resident-owned communities. With the operating costs of shelter no longer coming out of their Social Security income, they will have the full $2,430 a month to spend on everything else. Shelter accounts for 40.2 percent of the consumer price index for urban consumers. Changing your home equity into a manufactured home and a lifetime expense fund covers 44.5 percent of your cost of living. A worker with typical earnings can expect Social Security benefits to replace 39.5 percent of gross earnings. [...] don't forget the money you never see - things like the employment tax and possible federal income tax payments.

Considering President Joe Biden has previously said he would sign the bill, it now seems practically guaranteed that the TikTok ban will actually go ahead. Seventy-nine U. S. senators approved of the TikTok ban, eclipsing the 18 who voted against it.
