Aging into Homelessness | More baby boomers are living on the streets, or at risk

Some seniors on the First Coast are living on the edge of poverty. Many can't afford to pay rising rent costs. More baby boomers are living on the streets.

[@gordonallen9095]

Many younger boomers aren't prepared for retirement. Some who were low wage workers who had jobs with no benefits, or pensions weren't able to save much money for retirement. Others had a catastrophic event that drained their limited finances. These are the homeless seniors we are now beginning to see on the streets. Our society knew this wave was coming, and did nothing to avert it. Unfortunately, it will grow larger in the coming years.....

It's like the funds are always squandered among the PiP(People in Power)!

55 is Gen X. Boomers were born from 1946 to 1964. Youngest boomer is 59.

[@greendesertgoddess]

Correct!

Homelessness is real. Most people are one paycheck from homelessness.

[@cryptojimbo9958]

My daughter was very supportive and wasn't in a position to do much for me financially. She was definitely my emotional support during that time.

People need jobs that pay enough so that you are able to put money away for emergencies. You shouldn't work a full time job and still be living paycheck to paycheck!
