Think you’re retiring? Think again.

A new poll from Retire Guide has found that a majority of Americans (57%) see themselves working in retirement. In all, 43% reported they expect to work part time, while 14% expect to work full time.

“As adults approach retirement age, their expectation to work goes up. Adults ages 30–60 were 10% more likely to expect to work during retirement than those ages 18–29. This might suggest that the typical American can’t stay on track with their retirement plans over a long period,” the pollsters said.

The endless crunch since Biden took office — inflation soared 9.1% in June 2022 year-over-year and housing costs were 8.1% higher in April compared to a year earlier — has pinched seniors. Of course, Biden and Democrats have done nothing to address skyrocketing health care costs, which means older Americans are being hit from every side.

The poll found that over the last two years, just 3 in 10 people have stayed on track with their retirement plans. More than a quarter (26%) said they plan to retire later than they expected, and 18% will retire with less savings than expected.

Nearly 10,000 Boomers — born between 1946 to 1964, which means they are now 59 to 77 years — reach retirement age each day.

But in the age of Biden — with interest rates skyrocketing, and investment portfolios sagging — a lot of those older Americans are being forced to “unretire,” according to another recent survey.

“Unfortunately, the inflation-driven affordability crisis and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes meant to combat inflation have driven housing costs higher,” USA Today reported this week. “As a result, retirees are moving back into the labor force. According to a survey by Paychex, 55% of retirees who went back to work said they did so because they needed more money, and 1 in 6 retirees is considering returning to work.”

“Most would want to work full-time (65%) instead of part-time (35%). This could be due to a need for more money — the reason cited by 53% of respondents,” Paychex reported. Some 55% of retirees went back to work because they said they needed more money.

Plus, Biden and congressional Democrats passed the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which didn’t offer a bit of help for the rising cost of food, housing, or energy prices. The latest debt deal passed on Wednesday will also deliver no relief whatsoever.

It’s been a perfect storm hammering seniors. Along with the soaring cost of living, “many older adults find themselves in deteriorating financial positions due to massive stock market losses in 2022,” USA Today reported. Last year, more than $12 trillion in wealth disappeared as the Dow dropped 8%, the S&P 500 19.4%, and Nasdaq 33%.

An AARP survey late last year found more than a third of people 65 and older said their current financial situation at midyear was worse than a year before. That represented a massive jump from the beginning of 2022, when just 13% of that age group said so.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams backtracked on a potential plan to house illegal immigrants at the mayor’s mansion, saying that there would be “legal issues” to do so. 

Adams had previously said that he would be open to letting illegal immigrants stay at Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the New York City mayor in Manhattan. New York has seen a flood of migrants come to the city, in part due to Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s efforts to bus illegal migrants to the Big Apple. 

“I think leading the challenge of the migrant problem is both substantive and symbolic and as I always said, ‘Good generals lead from the front,’” Adams said Thursday, according to the New York Post. “They don’t send their troops into battle and ask, ‘How was the war?’ They lead them into battle. The symbolism of saying, ‘I’m willing to put a homeless family in Gracie’ is that symbolism.” 

He said there would be “legal issues” preventing the fulfillment of his previous offer, which he gave earlier this month. 

“[W]e are never going to break the law. And so, we’d be able to know what we can’t do and what we can’t do as a symbolism of saying, ‘I’m willing to open up the people’s house to the people of the city,’” Adams said. 

On June 6, Adams said that he might open up his residence for a “migrant family.”

“I don’t have a problem if I can put a migrant family in Gracie Mansion,” Adams said. “Because I want to lead from the front.”

Adams’ staff at the time said they would need to look into whether there would be legal limitations on how the home can be used.

New York City has seen a surge in asylum seekers coming to the city, with over 74,000 asking for housing since last spring, according to Adams’ office. As of June 4, over “47,200 asylum seekers remained in shelter provided by the City of New York,” a statement from the mayor’s office said. 

Adams is also leading a lawsuit against 30 New York counties over their refusal to house illegal immigrants as the state grapples with the influx. The lawsuit claims that the counties are preventing New York City from responding to a statewide emergency. If it proves successful, the lawsuit could result in courts invalidating policies set in place by the counties.
