Sharon Albrecht, 84, works as an Uber driver and for a home healthcare agency to supplement her Social Security, needing $1,500 to $2,000 monthly. Albrecht feels satisfied with her life, stating she has no major regrets and is comfortable with her financial situation despite not planning enough for retirement. She grew up during the Great Depression and began working early on, eventually retiring in her late 60s. Although she has some investments and property, she continues to work part-time to enhance her financial security.
I'm 84, and I've just gotten started. I don't worry much about the future. Still, I need to make between $1,500 and $2,000 a month to supplement my Social Security and cover my lifestyle.
I grew up with parents who lived through the Great Depression. My very first job was cleaning houses to earn money for nursing school.
In the '80s, I returned to psychiatric nursing and stayed until 2010. I retired in my late 60s because I felt it was time for me to leave.
When I retired, I had less than $1M in the bank, but I was working on real-estate investing on the side and had hopes of becoming a millionaire.
