NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV) — As the cost of living continues to rise, many Americans on a fixed income are finding it harder to stretch their dollars. From utilities and healthcare to groceries and everyday essentials, it’s more important than ever to know what resources are available to help save money.
Greg Marchildon, Director of AARP Vermont, joined RFD-TV News to discuss the programs and benefits designed to help older Americans make the most of their budgets. Marchildon emphasized that many people aren’t aware of the savings and assistance available to them, noting that even small reductions in monthly expenses can make a big difference for those living on a limited income.
He also highlighted AARP’s ongoing outreach efforts to ensure that seniors in both urban and rural areas have access to reliable information about cost-saving programs.
For those looking to learn more about how to maximize their benefits, AARP will share additional tips and resources during Rural America Live with AARP, airing tonight at 7:30 p.m. Eastern / 6:30 p.m. Central, only on RFD-TV.
This special program, presented in partnership with Nationwide Agribusiness, premieres on Monday, Sept. 1, at 6 PM ET, only on RFD-TV and RFD-TV Now.
