In the atrium of Atlanta City Hall, helpers were assembled for those who needed them.
'We know it is hard out here for our seniors,' City Councilman Jason Dozier said.
This includes seniors like Coretha Easterling, who sometimes struggles to make ends meet.
'Some seniors don't know,' Easterling said.
On Thursday, they were brought to the right place.
'We know a lot of our seniors have to rely on Social Security, and are navigating the high cost of living and energy costs, so we're trying to bring the resources to them so they can weather this storm,' Councilman Dozier said.

Dozier teamed up with the Georgia nonprofit Stimulate America to gather the resources many seniors need, under one roof.
'A lot of our seniors have come to us and asked for part-time jobs or seasonal jobs to supplement their income during this inflation,' the nonprofit's founder, Tiffany Howard, said.
There was also information on affordable housing, getting more out of Medicare, Social Security, veterans' benefits and much more.
Dozier said the seniors who looked after us now need someone to look after them.
Easterling said they just need to know where to go.
'It helps the seniors to know what they can get or information they need to know,' Easterling said.
The gathering at Atlanta City Hall was the first of four planned to help local seniors.

The Future of Social Security Looks Grim. 6 Tips to Help You Save for Retirement Now
Getty Images/Zooey Liao/CNET Social Security payments can help you fund part of your retirement -- but don't bank on it as your only source of income. The Social Security trust fund is expected to dry up by 2034, according to the Social Security Administration. That's one year sooner than initially forecast. While the fund won't vanish completely, it's estimated that you'll only receive 81% of your benefits, at best. Why? The fund has been running out of money for years, but President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act has sped up the timeline for depleting the fund. This budget bill increases the standard deduction for those 65 and older to $6,000 through 2028, offering a temporary tax break for some seniors collecting Social Security. As a personal finance expert who's already saved enough to retire by 40, I've helped dozens of clients figure out a retirement savings plan that doesn't rely heavily on Social Security. Here's how Social Security benefits work and how to plan for your retirement without relying on this program's future. Read more: Social Security 2025: What Goes Into Determining Your Monthly Payment and How to Maximize It How do Social Security earnings work? Social Security is a government-run program we pay into through our payroll taxes -- employees pay 6.2%, employers pay 6.2% and self-employed individuals pay the full 12.4%. The money you pay in Social Security payroll taxes goes directly to current beneficiaries rather than into a personal savings account for you. So what you're paying now is for the generation before you and you will be paid out based on what the next generation puts into the pool of money. How much you'll receive from Social Security depends on whether you're single or married, how much you earned over your 35 highest-earning years and the age you are when you retire. Most people can start claiming benefits at 62 but the longer you wait, the more your monthly payout could be. You can use the Social Security benefits calculator to estimate what you're expected to receive. Will Social Security exist when you retire? It's still likely that Social Security will be around in some form when you retire, but you may not receive the full benefit offered to current retirees. The Social Security Administration's 2025 annual report found that the program will likely be able to pay 100% of the current benefits through 2034, a year less than projected last year. After that, retirees would receive 81% of their scheduled benefits. What could that look like? As of June 2025, the average Social Security payout for retirees is $1,952 per month. If you were to receive 81% of that, it would drop to approximately $1,581 per month. Is Social Security enough to fund your retirement? Most people count on Social Security to help fund their retirement savings. However, no matter how frugal you are, your Social Security payout alone is likely not enough income to cover your needs in retirement. Although $1,952 -- or $1,581 if you'll retire after 2034 -- isn't an insignificant amount, it's not enough to cover living expenses for any of my clients, and it's likely not enough for you. Social Security is a crucial part of many retirees' monthly income -- but it shouldn't be your sole retirement plan. Constance Craig-Mason of National Social Security Advisors agrees. "Financial well-being isn't just about the numbers -- it's about stability and peace of mind," she said. "Social Security should be viewed as a foundation, not the sole pillar of retirement planning." Don't rely on Social Security alone. Do this instead Rather than speculating about the fate of Social Security, I recommend putting together a plan now to start growing your own retirement fund. Even if you can't save much, starting small is better than pushing it down the road. Here are the preemptive steps I took that helped me plan for traditional retirement and let me save enough money to retire early in my 40s. 1. Review your options and set up a retirement fund Saving for retirement can feel impossible if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck and struggling to afford your rent, mortgage and other essentials. My first step doesn't require investing any money at all. Instead, I'd encourage you to review your options and get accounts set up so that you're ready to save when you're able to contribute. I also highly recommend talking to people in your life who are retired or nearing retirement age to learn how they got started. 2. Max out your employer-sponsored plan If your job offers a 401(k) or other retirement plan with a match, your best bet is contributing to that account until you reach your yearly maximum. This is your best bet because your employer will meet part of your contributions, helping you grow your money faster. Because of retirement changes in the Secure 2.0 Act, you may even be eligible to contribute to a workplace plan if you're part-time, depending on when the plan was set up. My husband and I are focused on contributing to our sponsored plans before investing anywhere else. It's an automatic way to earn extra money for retirement without much effort. This year, you can contribute up to $23,500 to your 401(k). If you're 50 or older, you can contribute an additional $7,500. 3. Open an IRA next If you reach your 401(k) max contribution, aim to invest in an individual retirement account next. The max IRA contribution limit for 2025 is $7,000. Whether a Roth or traditional IRA makes sense depends on your estimated tax rate now and in the future. Both let you grow your money tax-free; a Roth IRA lets you contribute post-tax dollars, while a traditional IRA is funded with pretax dollars then taxed when you withdraw from it. Too many of my clients open a brokerage account instead of an IRA, not realizing they're losing their hard-earned money in taxes each year. 4. Put extra money toward your mortgage now A good way to help your Social Security income and retirement fund stretch even further is by eliminating steep expenses. Owning your home outright gets rid of one of your biggest expenses. This sounds like a lofty goal, but it's possible. I focused on paying off $300,000 of debt, including my home, in three years. If you're getting a tax refund, work bonus or other windfall, pay it toward your mortgage if you can. Every bit can bring your balance down. 5. Lower your housing expenses, if you can If you're open to relocating, consider places with lower taxes and housing costs so you can put more money toward your retirement goals. A decade ago, my husband and I made the bold move of leaving my hometown of New York City to settle in Charlotte, North Carolina, which was much more affordable. We've saved tens of thousands of dollars in taxes, car insurance and living expenses each year. Even if you're not ready to move across the country, considering lower-cost neighborhoods in your area can make a big difference. We also downsized in Charlotte and decided to rent. The money we would have put toward home repairs and upkeep has freed up extra money for us. 6. Take advantage of health savings accounts Health care is one of the biggest expenses in retirement. So investing in your health now can save money later. Get in the habit of filling up tax-advantaged accounts such as a flexible spending account or health savings account to help you save money on your health expenses. Keep in mind that an FSA account is offered through your employer but you can set up an HSA yourself. These accounts can incentivize you to use those funds toward the health care resources you need to keep healthy habits in the long run as you won't pay as much out of pocket for health care purchases, check-ups and procedures. Then you can use your take-home pay to focus on your retirement plan. Focus on what's in your control We can't predict exactly what will happen with Social Security but we can take action now to reduce financial anxiety about the future. As Craig-Mason encourages, "When you combine Social Security benefits with smart saving strategies, intentional money management and a focus on aligning finances with your well-being, you're building a retirement plan that's sustainable and fulfilling -- no matter what uncertainties lie ahead." The worst thing you can do? Assume Social Security will cover everything. Instead, start planning today.

What is the best age to buy an annuity at?
Retirement planning often feels like trying to hit a moving target. Just when you think you've figured out how much you need to save, inflation shifts the goalposts, market volatility throws you off balance and suddenly you're wondering if your Social Security benefits will be enough to cover any of your expenses during retirement. These types of issues are part of why more people are turning to annuities to lock down a reliable retirement income stream, one that guarantees you won't outlive your money. However, the timing of when you buy an annuity can make or break the benefits. While it might seem like waiting until later in life would guarantee the biggest annuity payout, that strategy doesn't always work, and neither does the flip side of that coin. Buying an annuity too early could lock you into lower returns and limit the growth potential, after all, while waiting too long can mean you miss out on years of steady income that could have supplemented Social Security or retirement savings. So, how do you know when to pull the trigger? Let's break down how your age impacts annuity payouts and what factors should guide your decision. Compare your annuity options online and lock in a great rate today. It's important to understand that the "best" age to purchase an annuity varies from one person to the next, as the right timing depends heavily on your financial goals in retirement. In general, though, annuity payouts are higher for older buyers because insurance companies use life expectancy to calculate payments. That means a 75-year-old will likely receive a larger monthly payout than a 65-year-old who invests the same amount, simply because they're expected to draw on the annuity for fewer years. But waiting to purchase an annuity isn't always the ideal approach. Many financial advisors recommend buying an annuity between the ages of 60 and 70. Purchasing during this window can help you avoid market risks while ensuring you still get significant payouts over time. Remember, though, that there are numerous types of annuities, and while it may make sense to purchase a fixed annuity between the ages of 60 and 70, the rules can differ for other annuity options. For example, deferred annuities grow tax-deferred until you start withdrawing funds, and buying this type of annuity earlier — let's say in your 50s — gives your money more time to grow. However, this strategy requires patience and some financial flexibility, as you won't see any immediate income benefits. Or, if you're leaning toward an immediate annuity to supplement your Social Security with guaranteed monthly payments, waiting until you're in your late 60s or early 70s to buy one often provides the highest payout ratio. That said, your health and life expectancy are also critical factors to consider during the process. If you're in excellent health and come from a family with a history of longevity, locking in an annuity earlier could ensure more years of income. Get prepared for retirement by adding an annuity to your portfolio now. If you're trying to time your annuity purchase correctly, it may benefit you to think about how an annuity fits into your overall financial picture rather than focusing on a particular age. Ask yourself: It's also worth considering laddering annuities, which is a strategy where you purchase multiple annuities at different times and rates to help balance payouts and flexibility. This allows you to hedge against locking all your money in at one particular rate. There's no universal answer to the question about the best age to buy an annuity. For many people, purchasing between ages 60 and 70 strikes a good balance between payout size and retirement income needs, but your health, lifestyle and financial situation, as well as the type of annuity you're planning to purchase, will ultimately determine what's right for you. If you're considering an annuity, it may benefit you to work with a financial advisor who understands your goals. They can help you evaluate whether buying now or waiting makes the most sense for your retirement plan. Timing isn't everything, but with annuities, it can make a significant difference in how much income you receive.
