Needing to go back to work in old age is one thing. Finding an employer that will hire you is another.

America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

I retired in 2022, thinking $300k would be enough. But living on a fixed income with ongoing inflation is challenging. Every withdrawal makes it harder for my savings to grow through compounding interest. The thought of having to work again in retirement is really scary

@truthteller4442

Sickening that a country allows this to happen.

Are we really going to ignore the fact that the wealth of the richest people has multiplied in the very same period?

@nicolasbenson009

High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

I'm about to turn 70 and just returned to work as an RN.  I work home care for near drowning children on ventilators and tube feedings.  They can't find nurses working for this population, I was a Pediatric Hospice RN and Pediatric ER RN ages ago.  I needed the income but actually love being an active RN again and caring for children that need me.

You can't retire and still have a mortgage.  The story should have mentioned this up front. Going back to work isn't as shocking if you still have a mortgage.

The Golden Girls was on point. Many women, and men, will be moving in together in their later years. This will not only combat the housing crisis but the loneliness epidemic as well.

All part of the plan.

The greed of the rich and the corporations is not surprising.  They are heartless sociopaths

@richatlarge462

Who says that Americans have to keep living in the United States?

@steverinaldi890

And the cost of living will never reduce and go back down.  It may taper off, it may slow down but it will never go down.  Welcome to the new America.

I'd be lucky enough if I could get a job at her age

@nomad60453

This is why I will be moving overseas. I rather be in a Third World country then be old with broken bones struggling to work just so I can eat and have a roof over my head. Cost of living in this country is caused by corporations and overspending by our Government. Enough is enough.

@chanela.7786

I remember back when I was still in hs around 2016/2017 working in retail I had quite a few coworkers that were elderly and remember they wouldn’t even really get to sit down during times the store was slow. It really made me contemplate how hard things were getting to see these people still having to work at their age…

She looks good for being 74
