Connie Sloan, a 69-year-old nurse, commutes 200 miles weekly to supplement her Social Security income, facing financial struggles after cancer treatment depleted her savings. Many baby boomers are similarly affected by rising living costs, inadequate retirement savings, and unexpected expenses, forcing them back into the workforce. Sloan's treatments led her and her husband to live with their son, highlighting a broader trend among older Americans struggling to maintain financial stability in their later years. Business Insider notes the growing number of retirees facing tough economic realities that disrupt their retirement plans.
"You feel alone. But I have to work for my income. At this age, it’s tough. Most people don’t understand what we go through."
"The cost of living is rising across the US, and Social Security often isn't enough to afford essentials. Unexpected expenses can lead to financial ruin for retirees."
