Seniors have worked hard to secure a comfortable retirement — but inflation is making it tough.
As this chart from CNBC shows, many prices have skyrocketed in just a year. Even with the record COLA, these prices are difficult to manage. And since 2024’s COLA will be much lower, this is a serious problem.
Common grocery items like a dozen eggs are higher than ever. The same can be said for prescription drug costs and Medicare Part B premiums — this is especially tough for seniors, since their medical costs are typically higher than those of other demographics.
Energy costs are also climbing — heating oil, gasoline, and propane are all going up, making it tough to travel and keep warm.
