After leaving the workforce during the pandemic because she couldn’t find affordable child care, Longenecker said her family has been economizing.
But her husband recently got a new job that pays more per hour and with lower health care costs.
Her husband’s side gig has been “flourishing,” giving them steady monthly income and a glimpse of a future beyond waiting tables.
Her monthly retirement income of around $7,600 is comfortable, but homeowners insurance, utilities and long-term care costs are weighing on her.
Keys said Harris has put forth clearer economic policies, like her plan to offer first-time homebuyers $25,000 in downpayment assistance.
