Stress is a part of life — but there are some things we just shouldn’t have to worry about.
Seniors deserve a dignified retirement. Because we’ve paid into Social Security, we deserve to be paid back in full. But mismanagement of the program, coupled with a tough economy, has put pressure on older individuals especially.
How many people are feeling this mental strain from financial struggles? According to the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging, a whopping 53 percent of older adults felt stress about their personal finances over the last year. About as many also cut back on expenses, including recreational spending, personal items, groceries, home maintenance, gas, and even utilities.
What are your thoughts on these stats? Are you feeling financial stress as well?
Help The Seniors Center Protect the Future of Social Security
The Seniors Center is committed to finding solutions to strengthen and protect the Social Security Trust Fund. Social Security is a contract between citizens and the government. Money deposited in the Trust Fund should only be used to pay benefits to eligible recipients.
The Seniors Center is demanding Congress finally put a stop to the careless borrowing and spending by greedy politicians that has put our Trust Fund and our secure retirement in jeopardy.
At The Seniors Center, our goal is to help seniors, and we’re doing that by protecting the future of Social Security. Retirees shouldn’t have to worry about losing their hard-earned benefits to taxes or the agendas of greedy politicians. If you agree, we invite you to sign our petition today! And follow The Seniors Center on Twitter and Facebook for more updates!
