Julie articulated the grave financial struggle they are facing, stating, "At the moment we haven't got the heating on, we usually have it on for a couple of hours throughout the day when it gets really cold." She expressed deep concern, stating, "When you get to the level where you're teetering on the edge of poverty because you're counting your electric, gas and food, where else do you get the money from?" This highlights the extreme budget constraints they are under.
Reflecting on the sudden shift from their retirement plans, Julie noted, "Ray's diagnosis forced them to reconsider" their adventure plans after dedicating their lives to public service. She shares how the changes have dramatically impacted their lives, with rising care costs now complicating their situation significantly.
Julie noted the critical impact of council decisions on their lives, saying, "The only thing else I can think to cut is that I'm taking driving lessons." This underscores the reality that even small expenses are now painstakingly scrutinized in their daily struggle.
