Feedback:
Most people have to adjust to a fixed income after retirement. Usually, they have less money to spend than before. Simultaneously, clothing and commuting expenses may decrease. Living on a fixed income has made moving from homes in high crime areas difficult for some older adults. Although they own their homes, the value has decreased. Unfortunately, many lack the financial resources to move to safer, more secure neighborhoods.
