The Anxieties of Old Age

Now I'm part of this demographic, I can attest that worrying about how to pay your bills, whether you can afford your medicines, whether you can even pay for your doctor visits, ruins what are called your "golden years."

There is nothing golden about poverty.

It doesn't matter how long or how hard you worked or how carefully you saved, old age is structured in this country to drain you of everything you own.

Anxiety among the elderly is a major problem in America. Wake up to it.
