Life at 90: Still working to make ends meet

Vince Scidone, a 90-year-old in Oklahoma, is still clocking in at a convenience store kitchen, earning $14.90 an hour just to keep up with rising living costs. Despite a lifetime of hard work and careful spending, his pension hasn’t kept pace with inflation, and property taxes have more than doubled. Vince’s story isn’t unique—many older Americans are finding that retirement savings just don’t stretch as far as they used to. How do you feel about seniors having to work well into their 80s and 90s? What changes would you want to see for retirees in your community? #Business #retirement #seniors

Would you or someone you know sign up for a week of fun like this? #Safety #Boston #Seniors

Kentucky seniors: Big changes for license renewal

Starting January 2025, every Kentucky driver—including seniors—will need to pass a vision screening to renew their license. No more skipping the eye test! Seniors can still renew every four years (not more often, like in some states), and you’ve got options: in person, by mail, or online (if you upload your vision form). If you’re thinking about a REAL ID or need to update your info, you’ll have to go in person. Staying on top of these new rules helps keep everyone safe and lets seniors stay independent on the road. How do you feel about the new vision test requirement? #Cars #Kentucky #Seniors

NH seniors: License renewal changes in 2025

Turning 75 in New Hampshire means it’s time to plan ahead for your driver’s license renewal. The state now requires in-person renewals and a vision test every five years for seniors 75 and older, making it extra important to stay on top of your paperwork and eye health. While online renewal is still an option for those under 75, older drivers will need to visit the DMV. Have you or a loved one gone through this process recently? Share your tips or experiences—let’s help each other keep our independence and stay safe on the road! #Cars #NewHampshire #Seniors

Are New Senior Driver Rules Real or Rumor?

FDA Flags Travel Vaccine Risk for Seniors

If you’re over 60 and planning a trip, heads up: the FDA just warned that the new chikungunya vaccine (Ixchiq) might not be safe for older adults. After some serious side effects—including two deaths—health officials are telling seniors to hold off on getting this shot for now. The vaccine was supposed to protect against a nasty mosquito virus, but it’s now under review for those 60+. Stay tuned for updates if you’re in this age group! #FDAAlert #TravelHealth #VaccineNews #Seniors #HealthUpdate #Health

Could Retirees Finally Catch a Tax Break?

Heads up if you (or your parents) are over 65: Congress is talking about a new bill that could double the tax deduction for seniors. With groceries, rent, and healthcare all getting pricier, this could mean more money stays in retirees’ pockets—potentially saving some couples over $2,000 a year. If you’re worried about stretching your retirement dollars, this is one to watch! #retirement #taxes #seniors #moneysmart #personalfinance #Finance
