For many older adults living on a fixed income, every dollar matters. For John, a recent participant in NCOA’s Savvy Saving Seniors® workshop, this struggle is all too real.

After retiring at 65 from Walmart, John found himself relying solely on Social Security, without a pension or retirement savings. Each month was a challenge—carefully scrutinizing bills, making sure there was enough for food and essentials, and struggling to save as prices continued to rise.

Then, John found NCOA’s financial education course.

In just four weeks, he learned how to stretch his budget, access local resources, and find new ways to save. As John shared, “I loved the class. It taught me to be more cautious with my spending, I discovered new places to shop for great deals, and the facilitators were so kind and respectful.”

Your generosity ensures that older adults receive the essential resources they need to survive and thrive. From covering daily expenses like food and medications, to navigating Medicare and staying financially secure, your support makes a meaningful difference. 

Thank you for standing with older adults and for helping to build a more secure future for all.
