Seniors know that that living on a fixed income presents many challenges.
Ever increasing living expenses are a certainty while the universe of investment choices and rates of return are anything but certain. Recently the Assemblies of God Foundation shared a story with me about Mary who faced this very situation. Mary was a retired elementary school teacher who lives modestly with her financial needs being met by social security, a small pension payment, and interest from Certificates of Deposits. Mary felt she needed more income and looked at alternatives that would pay higher income but at the age 82 she was not willing to take on the risk involved. Mary contacted the Assemblies of God Foundation and scheduled a meeting with the Regional Consultant in her area.
