'Sometimes I only eat one meal a day.' Older Americans living on fixed incomes are feeling the squeeze of inflation.

At a card table there, CNN met with a group of seniors, all on fixed incomes, who spoke about feeling the squeeze from steep price hikes over the past year. Katherine Janes, 81, said she had to turn to her son for financial help. “It makes things a little easier,” Janes said. “Everything is expensive.” Ron Longhurst cut back on evening socializing, which has been difficult as a single 79-year-old. “Day-to-day, I stay home more,” he said.

” They already have some boxes packed, expecting another rent hike when their lease ends early next year. Johnson, a retired university counselor, and her husband, a retired engineer and teacher, moved to Florida from Michigan three years ago, bringing along her sister and nephew to live with them. The family would like to buy a home, but the draining price hikes and red-hot housing market are making that more difficult. Johnson says they may have to downsize as a result.

Seniors on a fixed income have been hit particularly hard by inflation. They were eating steak 2 years ago 🤷‍♂️ Well, seniors, pay attention & vote Democrat.
