The cost of prescription drugs has gotten so out of hand that regulators and legislators are having to step in and try to remedy the situation. The latest effort comes from the House of Representatives, which recently passed a bill which would cap the cost of insulin. The bill, which passed by a vote of 232-193 would cap the cost of insulin for both those on Medicare and those with private insurance at just $35 per month. A similar bill passed the House last year but died in the Senate. Democratic legislators are hoping to work out a compromise with Republicans to get it passed in the Senate.
A new study which was published by the Society of Actuaries Research Institute’s Aging and Retirement Strategic Research Program found that many retirees and pre-retirees aren’t prepared for a financial shock, and the likelihood of that happening is increasing. Many economists are saying that the odds are increasing that we will soon enter a recession, and Russia’s attack on Ukraine is likely to wreak havoc on the stock market. According to the study, about half of pre-retirees report that they already experienced a financial shock, along with 4 in 10 retirees. These shocks have reduced the assets of pre-retirees by 25% or more and their spending by 10% or more. Experts urge retirees to build a reserve fund. Half of pre-retirees could only afford to spend $10K or less on an emergency while retirees reported they could afford no more than $25K. There are plenty of great financial advisors on the Monterey Peninsula and you should consult with one yearly.

Wired Magazine recently reminded us how easily seniors can be scammed out of their hard-earned money. One woman picked up the phone and was told by the caller, “Someone has access to your bank accounts through Amazon, and they can take all your money. I’m calling to help.â€Â Having been cooped up in her house for weeks as she recovered from COVID-19, she was extremely anxious. The man said he needed information to make sure her money was safe. She was transferred to another man who directed her to download an app so he could see what was happening on her screen. Foolishly, the woman followed the man’s instructions to download Cash App, PayPal, Coinbase and set up a Zelle account. In a matter of hours, the scammer had taken her social security number, date of birth, driver’s license number and about $11,000.
