A patient payout
I just finished reading [Suze Orman’s] “Patience pays off” in the January issue, and wholeheartedly agree with the advice to wait, if you are healthy, to start to collect your Social Security benefits.
I decided to wait until age 70 to begin taking my benefits. Perseverance can pay off ... and don’t be afraid to question the Social Security Administration if you feel you should be entitled to a higher benefit based upon the 6% to 8% per year rule.

Hometown heroes
Thank you for highlighting Charleston Coffee Roasters of South Carolina in “Regional appeal” [December 2022]. I keep my pantry stocked full of these amazing coffee beans. I couldn’t imagine starting my day off any other way!

Very vegan
I’m writing to thank you for including the article “Meatless memories” in your December 2022 publication. Every holiday season I cook for my extended family and I’m always looking for great vegan recipes. I’m definitely going to make the mushroom gravy and tahini cookies this year. They both look delicious!

All the difference
Every year, I look forward to reading about the charities in your [December Member Connection], and I wish them the luck we had when you wrote about us at Animal-Kind International [AKI]. Over the years, we retained relationships; gained a committed group of supporters who only heard about us thanks to [you]; and still—eight years later—get notes from people who tell me they are donating because they read about AKI in [the Connection]. That says a lot about the trust people have in Costco and what it means to be a member.
