What's Happening?
CNBC is reaching out to retirees to share their financial experiences in the current economic climate. With over 4.1 million Americans turning 65 annually from 2024 to 2027, known as 'Peak 65,' CNBC aims to understand how tariffs and inflation are affecting retirees and those nearing retirement. The network is interested in stories about whether retirees are living the life they envisioned and what financial strategies have been successful or could be improved. This initiative seeks to provide insights into the financial well-being of retirees during a period of economic uncertainty.

Why It's Important?
The 'Peak 65' generation represents a significant demographic shift with potential implications for public policy, social security, and healthcare systems. Understanding the financial challenges faced by retirees can inform policymakers and financial advisors on how to better support this growing population. The stories collected by CNBC could highlight disparities in retirement readiness and the impact of economic factors like inflation and tariffs on fixed incomes. This initiative may also offer valuable lessons for future retirees on planning and adapting to economic changes.
