Work with us to be the bridge to resource needs for this community.

The 2027 COLA will be the highest in four years — but still not enough for millions of retirees to keep up with rising food, energy, and healthcare costs.

The Social Security Administration announced the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2027. Is it enough?

Those on fixed incomes are struggling and can't make ends meet.

A bigger paycheck doesn't guarantee financial security.

About 4 in 10 workers making over $300,000 say they're still living paycheck to paycheck, per a new Goldman Sachs survey. The culprit is a surprising "U-shape" pattern where financial strain dips in the middle income brackets, then rises again at the top.

Charitable giving is taking a hit as cost-of-living challenges continue to put a strain on people's budgets, a new study shows.

More than 4 out of 5 in the U.S. said at least one cost-of-living pressure has prevented them from donating or donating more over the past six months, according to a survey of more than 3,000 adults in the United States and the United Kingdom, including more than 2,000 in the U.S.

Rising costs are impacting charitable giving, with many Americans scaling back donations due to budget pressures.

If your grocery bill feels absolutely ridiculous right now, WHERE you live might be making it even worse.

According to the 2025 C2ER Grocery Price Index, Hawaii sits at the top with grocery prices about 31% above the national average. Alaska comes in around 25% higher.

Then you’ve got California, Washington, Oregon, Vermont, Maryland, Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York all sitting above the national baseline too.

And this is what people feel every single week.

You can cut coupons.

You can shop sales.

You can buy generic.

You can meal prep until your refrigerator looks like a Tetris board.

But if you live in a state where groceries are already 5%, 10%, or even 30% higher than the national average, there’s only so much “budgeting better” is going to fix.

That’s why I get annoyed when every conversation about grocery prices turns into somebody telling people to stop buying snacks or quit shopping at the “wrong” store.

Sometimes the problem really is the PRICE.

And in some states, that price is brutal.
