About one-quarter of U.S. adults age 50 and older who are not yet retired say they expect to never retire and 70% are concerned about prices rising faster than their income, an AARP survey finds.

About 1 in 4 have no retirement savings, according to research released Wednesday by the organization that shows how a graying America is worrying more and more about how to make ends meet even as economists and policymakers say the U.S. economy has all but achieved a soft landing after two years of record inflation.

Everyday expenses and housing costs, including rent and mortgage payments, are the biggest reasons why people are unable to save for retirement.

    I have had conversations with evangelicals who believe retiring is morally wrong, based entirely on this one passage:

    For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10

    I can’t begin to wrap my head around this.
