Rising inflation and low interest rates hit retirees especially those on low to moderate incomes. For most senior citizens, their income sources add up to personal savings and a monthly Social Security check. While the Social Security Check rose by $20, the cost of living calculated by the Social Security Administration was based on the inflation rates of 2019-2020. This calculation did not take into account the pandemic-induced inflation that rose this year. 

Mary Johnson, policy analyst at The Senior Citizens League found out that 86% of retirees said their monthly expenses rose by $20 this year while 40% of them said it rose by more than $100.
