  • We spoke to retirees who planned to travel once they retired. However, financial concerns and rising costs are putting cracks in their plans.

Many retirees are finding that their long-awaited travel plans in retirement are being thwarted by rising costs and unexpected expenses, leading to disappointment and frustration.
