Sad but true stories of many older Americans who can not afford to retire.

I usually have a short attention span, this is a compelling article that I can understand and identified with. I read it all the way though to the end. As a real estate agent & started this endeavor in 2007, I have seen my fair share of homes being taken over by the banks. I have had to work on short sale & sell homes for clients who lost their jobs and no longer can afford to keep their homes. I have had my fair share of sadness seeing all the belongings left behind in the garages; family albums, children's shoes, books, clothes, boxes and boxes of stuff they no longer can take with them etc. I have so many friends who have been in these positions described in this article. This is one of the mostheart breaking, real life stories & who knows how manymore are out there? This is what's going on in our country, shrinking middleclass, aging poor and homelessness.  http://graphics.latimes.com/retirement-nomads/#nt=related-content
