Glenn Mans, a retired employee of the Florida Transportation System and his wife, a school board employee, are finding the rise in the cost of living more than they can manage. With the cost of food, utilities, fuel, and health insurance all on the rise, and their income remaining the same, the couple has to work vigilantly to cut costs and reduce expenses wherever they can. While they don’t have a mortgage payment, credit card balances, or student loan debt, the cost of their health insurance is equivalent to a mortgage payment at over $1200 a month and rising. This couple is struggling, but knows that there are many in much tighter situation than themselves. How are people going to survive if the cost of living keeps going up, but income levels remain basically the same?
