Utility bills are one of the most consistent expenses retirees face, and they often rise faster than inflation. Seniors living on fixed incomes feel the pinch every month, yet many don’t realize they may qualify for rebates or discounts. These programs are designed to ease the burden for older adults, but utility companies rarely go out of their way to advertise them. Instead, the information is buried in fine print or tucked away on obscure web pages. As a result, thousands of seniors pay full price for services when they could be saving money.
