>She house sat for a family member to get her finances back in order, but she found it difficult to afford a rental apartment on the $58,000 a year she gets in disability and Social Security payments.

It's not for everyone, but that's more than enough to retire in much of the world. You can get a very nice apartment in much of Seoul for around 700$.

Food and healthcare is going to be better too.

You can live comfortably in many, many places in the US on $58k a year as well.

It highlights that the problem most of these people have isn't a lack of income.
