Randallstown, MD
After being laid off, I had to use my 401(k) to pay my mortgage and other bills. Now as a childcare provider, I don’t have a pension or a 401(k).
I should be thinking about retirement, but I can’t even work part-time. I’ll have to continue to work full-time in order to make ends meet. If anything ever happens and I won’t be able to work anymore, I’ll have nothing to fall back on. After working all my life, I should be able to have some kind of retirement.

Retirement USA is collecting personal stories about people’s fears and concerns for retirement. Washington isn’t paying attention to the retirement concerns of workers and retirees, so we need to speak out. The stories will help show lawmakers the reality of the retirement income crisis.
