Financial Concerns Could Drive Retiring Baby Boomers Out Of NYC
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Retiring baby boomers are moving out of New York.
A recent AARP survey found that nearly two-thirds of baby boomers preparing for retirement will move out of the city because it is too expensive, WCBS 880's Rich Lamb reported Friday.
"Fifty-eight percent are extremely concerned about their ability to pay rent in the coming years. One-third tell us that they're not confident they're going to be able to pay their utility bill," the AARP's David Irwin said.

Irwin noted that in an election year candidates need to mind the boomers.

Irwin said that guidance specifically applied to those running for mayor and city council.
