Many of them talk about worsening of their financial situation in recent years. At the same time, their future prospects are no less deplorable. This is due to a number of circumstances: incomes are falling sharply with retirement, and the cost of municipal services, medical services and medicines, which are vital for pensioners, is rising. Financial situation is a problem that can compete with health in its significance.
