Let’s face it, times are tight. This is especially so for retirees living off a fixed income.
According to the Social Security Administration, the average monthly Social Security benefit for all retired workers is $2,071. That’s not a lot, especially with increasing medical and housing expenses.
Fortunately, there are ways to save!
Chapter, an advisory company that helps older Americans navigate retirement, compiled a list of senior discounts. These are reduced prices or special offers provided by businesses to adults who meet a certain age requirement. With most discounts of 10 percent or higher, older adults can boost their budgets by taking advantage of these offerings on services and at restaurants, grocery stores, retail stores, travel providers, and entertainment venues.
There should be no stigma when it comes to saving money. Go ahead and take advantage of all the discounts available.
Council of Seniors Wants to Support Older Americans
The Council of Seniors wants to help seniors in financial need. We are working hard to get Congress to passThe SAVE Benefits Act. This crucial bill will put $581 back in retirees’ pockets to make up for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments that were far too low for years.
Sign our petition today to support our efforts. Congress has ignored the growing number of seniors expecting action for way too long.
