Older Adults Are Sharing The Realities Of Trying To Retire In 2025, And I Think We All Need To Listen Up

“I quit looking [at my retirement account] because it was making me physically ill. Since Trump came in and started his tariff BS, in about a month, I have lost two years of investments. Two years of the money my employer and I contributed down the drain. In the past three years, I had nearly doubled my investments. Last year, I was way far ahead of my goal retirement, now I am below my goal line. I am no longer in the green; I am in the red. Instead of retiring in my 60s, I am now going to have to work well into my 70s; if I make it that long.”
