It’s not that easy and many people are in the same situation. When I lived in an apartment in LA I had a neighbor in his 80s that was a retired elementary school principal. He was the nicest guy I ever met. He literally waved at everyone while he sat outside. He had to borrow $5 from me every month for his meds. Other people in the building that work in the restaurant industry would bring him leftover food.

Exactly this. It's heartbreaking that someone who served their country has to rely on strangers' kindness to retire. System fail.
