Interviewing retirees is beneficial and difficult. Focusing on actual, often tough experiences gives a much-needed peek into U.S. retirement.

Your ethics, dictating what can and can't be addressed, lends legitimacy. While some criticise your money emphasis, realise that your interviews are cautionary stories.

Your art illuminates the struggle to live now and prepare for tomorrow, which we all confront. Your inclusion of homeless retirees adds depth to the topic. Your interviews are educational materials and valuable contributions to society conversations, not just anecdotes.
