Dear Eric: I have a 63-year-old friend who is miserable. She’s working a job she hates, doesn’t go out much and has no pension. She is always broke, her car is about to die and she’s talking about wanting to retire soon. The only thing she has is Social Security and half her ex-husband’s pension.
She blew her retirement by being scammed out of more than $20,000 for a dog. She’s embarrassed by this and beside herself at being scammed out of so much money. On top of that, she’s been talking to a guy online for six months who is currently working out of the country on a project but supposedly lives in the states.
