- Maureen, a retired teacher, struggles to live on $1,601 monthly from Social Security.
- She has a 401(k) but hasn't used it because she's worried about making it last the rest of her life.
- Many baby boomers face similar challenges and over half have $250,000 or less in retirement assets.
Maureen used to have a tradition with her third-grade class.
