It's a Clear Goal

I guess I should have said "objective," since in past posts I have said I really don't like the word "goal," being that it's a bit inconclusive. Objectives, of course, have real plans behind them. Goals are simply desires we think about.
Nonetheless, whether it's a goal or an objective, I intend to work very hard this year to get at least one of two of my more "serious" attempts at YouTube channels to get monetized.
It's time. And I think I can do it. So long as I have a plan of attack, which I may not have fully worked out yet. But I'm working on it.
Sure, it will require quite a bit of work. It will also require patience. But people do it all the time. They get monetized. And there's no reason I should not be able to accomplish that as well.
I will keep you all apprised of my achievements along the way. I am sure all of you will be anxiously awaiting any updates on this. In the meantime, here's a new song uploaded that so far is 9,000 miles away from my objectives.

I hope you have a very progressive 2026. I have a question. If all through 2025 my SS arrived at a definite date then that should continue now in 2026 also is that right?

@porwest Thank you for the information. Just too many conflicting stories online.

So far as I am aware, Social Security payments have a specific payment date each month. That has not changed, there is nothing suggesting it will change, and so you can expect your Social Security payments to be made consistently, on time, and on its regular schedule, WITH the COLA raise Trump authorized for 2026 which is 2.8%, which is due to tariffs Trump imposed which allowed him to authorize the highest COLA increase in 40 years.

Make a fan page on FB, creating hype. That is what authors do.
