Vince Scidone, 90, works part-time at a convenience store in Oklahoma, earning $14.90/hr. Despite a pension since 1998, rising costs force him to stay employed. He and his wife live on $104,000 annually but struggle to cover $7,000 in monthly expenses, unable to save.

Scidone and his wife’s $50,000 savings from 2022 were quickly depleted by a home purchase, furnishings, and rising property taxes. His fixed pension hasn’t increased in 27 years, leaving him struggling to keep up with today’s economy. Property taxes alone soared from $2,000 to over $5,000 annually.

After a 3-month job search, Scidone was hired by a convenience store chain last year at the age of 90. He helps prepare food in the kitchen and enjoys working with his team. The company celebrated his 90th birthday and accommodates his physical limitations.

Despite his age, Scidone remains content working but hopes for a day when he and his wife can retire and travel to see family. With dwindling savings and rising costs, their future is uncertain. They live simply and focus on making their resources last longer.
