Retiring With A Massive Debt
On nearing retirement, we should have enough savings to live off retirement.
Unfortunately, this is not so; some are burdened with debt.
Most financial advisers say that in entering retirement, we should do so with as little debt as possible.
It must be remembered that in retirement, your income will typically be less than what you would earn working in your regular job.
This lack could be offset by having a side income, an extra income earner; finding a side hustle before you would be good.
In retirement, your income may decrease somewhat because you may not have to spend commuting to work and all the little extras you need to pay.
But as we get older, in most cases, our health also deteriorates, and our healthcare costs may increase, and quite many of us have no other health insurance but Medicare, which does not cover everything we need, e.g., eye and dental care.
If you are one of the near-to or retired people overwhelmed by massive debt, take the necessary steps to make retirement financially secure.
Steps To Take In A Financial Crisis
Some steps can be taken to help you weather this financial storm.
Most people think filing for bankruptcy is a way out, but taking this step can negatively impact your credit history and finances.
Please do not make any decision because you feel pressured; it is never a good idea to borrow, mainly from institutions like payday lenders, which are short-term money lenders. Their interest rates are incredibly high.
No matter how desperate your position may seem, you will always have a little time on your side to thoroughly review and talk to a financial professional.
Seek Credit Counseling many credit counseling companies will help you out of your financial dilemma.
Along with meeting with a counselor or talking to creditors about payout options, near-retirees can look into starting their businesses.
Earn Additional Income
As a retiree in too much debt, I can relate to your position, and if you are one of those who are or will be able to retire in comfort, you can look into this, too, as you will never know just what unplanned expense may surprise you.

Thanks so much for sharing information about Wealthy Affiliate. This sounds like it could be a win-win for my mother-in-law. Since she retired, she has way too much time on her hands and she’s having a very hard time getting used to her lowered monthly income.
What a wonderful thing it would be to have an activity that not only fills up her spare time, but that will also earn her an income. I think it would also do wonders for her outlook on life to feel like she’s making a difference. You also mentioned the community of other members at Wealthy Affiliate – another plus to have peers like herself with which she can socialize and learn with.
I’m going to bookmark your site and share your article with her. Thanks again!
Hello Shan, I agree with you that this would be a good thing for your mother-in-law, I know for me it filled a gap, I was feeling useless, every body was going out to work, and I was left at home.
But having joined Wealth Affiliate it has given me a new outlook on life, I never thought I would be able to write a blog, when I first heard of Wealthy Affiliate I thought this was not for me, because I would never be able to author a website I had no computer skill to speak of, but with the awesome lessons and the very helpful community I am doing well I now have no time to feel useless,
What I would suggest let your mother-in-law become a free member and let her see what is all about, maybe she will get hooked just as I did.
Shan I thank you so much for your comment and I wish you all the best in your business.
