And his longevity is getting expensive. “I’ve been retired for 20 years now,” said the 74-year-old from Sellersville. “I never expected to live this long.” Tony stopped working after a heart attack. But he never anticipated the advances in cardiac care, which keep his heart ticking. And he never calculated for paying the property tax bills, which go up and up. In spite of it all, Tony knows he’s among the lucky ones. He retired with a pension. What will happen to the millions of others with no retirement savings beyond Social Security?
