Retirement living seniors should turn to a loved one for help

As retirement living seniors get older, some may encounter trouble managing their money. Still, there may be certain people who are hesitant to ask for help.


One of the best ways to receive financial aid from another individual and feel comfortable with the process is to turn to a trusted friend or relative. Most seniors who can confide in a child or lifelong friend may find that their loved one's assistance can help them in the long run.


An article in the AARP Bulletin Today recommends retirement living seniors make a plan of action while they are able to think clearly.


"As we get older we are going to need help.

So if seniors have a good relationship with their children, they want to start the process of talking with them about certain aspects of their finances," Suzanne Hall, director of SENIOR Connect, told the news source.


According to the Administration on Aging, the median income for families headed by people over the age of 65 is over $44,000 annually. Retirement living seniors should remember that responsibly managing their finances now can only help them in the future.
