NPR wants to hear from people concerned about how they'll support themselves after they stop working.

NPR is working on a series of stories about what life is like for Americans who can't afford to retire or stay retired.

Polls and surveys consistently show that a large percentage of adults age 50 or over either have no retirement savings or are worried they won't have enough money to support themselves during their post-working years.

If you are retired or nearing retirement age and are anxious about your financial situation, we'd like to hear from you.

Fill out this questionnaire, and we may be in touch.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
