This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Charles Smith, 87, who lives in Pennsylvania. After hundreds of unsuccessful applications in his mid-80s, he found work at the Lancaster County Office of Aging and makes about $30,000 a year.

In 2021, Taylor and Tatum Barnes decided to leave New York City. The couple paid $160,000 for a one-bedroom fixer-upper in the small town of Pomfret, Vermont; their mortgage payment is half of what they spent on rent for a studio apartment in Brooklyn. They felt the property, which came with 2.6 acres of land, was the perfect place for them to start a homestead and grow their family. The slower pace of life in Vermont has been refreshing, even more so now that they have a toddler in tow.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Barbara Ann Patton, 88, who works as a notary in Florida.

She said she's considering finding someone else to live with her so she can more comfortably make ends meet. Her words have been edited for length and clarity. I work now because I need to, partly due to some poor decisions I've made.

Sitting at her sewing machine, Bernita Clark, 82, guides a piece of blue fabric as the needle bobs up and down. To her side sit scissors, measuring tape, thread, and a skull. It's for a costume she's designing for a 12-foot-tall skeleton. The labor is painstaking, attaching the fabric such that the soon-to-be well-clad lawn fixture becomes the talk of the town. But, she said, the work has been one of the most fulfilling parts of retirement.
