Your next chapter looks abundant.

My daughter gave me this for my birthday and I'll be honest, I rolled my eyes. At 71, on a fixed income, I've heard every promise under the sun and been let down by all of them. I only wore it to make her happy. Nine days later I got a letter about an old pension account I'd completely lost track of — $2,900 that had been sitting there for years. The week after, a check came back from a medical bill I'd given up fighting. My daughter keeps saying 'I told you so.' She's right.

Since my husband passed I've come up short at the end of every month, stretching Social Security as far as it'll go. A friend from church wore hers everywhere and swore by it, so I finally gave in. I can't fully explain what's happened. A tax refund I never saw coming, a deposit we'd written off came back to us, and for the first time in years I've stopped lying awake at 2am doing the math. I wear it to bed now.

I'm 68 and I was the biggest skeptic there was. Three weeks in, money I was owed from two different places just showed up out of nowhere. I'm not calling it magic. I'm just not taking it off.
