Tami Konzier who is a resident of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania was at an Eat N.Park restaurant around Friday March 28 overheard a waitress who is 81 years of age named Betty talking to another customer that she could not afford to retire since social security was not enough to cover her expenses.
Tami who was in the company of her son, took pity on the challenges that Betty by posting a video on Tik Tok to assist Betty by getting GoFundMe where donations came to the amount over $250,000 dollars to assist Betty to have income for her to enjoy her upcoming retirement.

I am in agreement with you that Betty will receive money for her to retire thanks to a charity.

Upcoming retirement at 81? I’m guessing she is really working at that age because she wants to. I bet she doesn’t last a year.

Betty needs the money and I guess she enjoys her work as a waitress even though it could be part time.

@Orson_Kart Most likely working is what keeps Betty going.

I hope so as well that Betty can have enough money to live on after she retires from her work.

It is a lovely thing to do. Such a huge sum of money is not necessary, but it is a lovely gesture for everyone retiring

Wow! I'm so glad Betty will be able to retire. I hate hearing about anyone over retirement age that can't afford to quit working.

It is sad but true that many persons have to work since their social security checks are small.

Not life changing money, but if one is 81, $250,000 could certainly go a long way. Normally, I would say not planning for retirement is bad behavior that deserves no reward, but I will let this one slide. I hope she is able to use the money and enjoy what she has left of life.
