Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical yet humorous guide to aging solo gracefully and achieving a happy retirement. In Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers, certified retirement coach Sara Zeff Geber coins the term “Solo Ager” to refer to the segment of society that either does not have adult children or is single and believes they will be on their own as they grow older. This book explores the path ahead for this group. That includes choices in housing, relationships, legal arrangements, finances, and more. Geber reviews the role of adult children in an aging parent’s world and suggests ways in which Solo Agers can mitigate the absence of adult children by relationship building and rigorous planning for their future. Geber shares her expertise on what constitutes a fulfilling older life and how Solo Agers can maximize their opportunities for financial security, physical health, meaning and purpose in the second half of life, and, finally, planning for the end game. Through real-life stories and anecdotes, the author explores housing choices, relationships, and building a support system. You will learn about: · different levels of care and independence in various types of living arrangements · how to initiate discussions among friends and relatives about end-of-life treatment · “what if” scenarios · who to talk to about legal and financial decisions And it’s not just the Solo Ager that can learn from this book. Financial advisors, elder law and estate attorneys, senior care managers, and others whose clientele is on the far side of sixty will benefit as well.

Download or read book Solo and Smart written by Carol Marak and published by . This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Solo and Smart, Carol reveals her step-by-step strategy for creating a more golden future, inspiring readers to take action to plan for their health, wealth, and more-and giving them hope. Readers realize they aren't entirely at the mercy of what inevitably befalls most elders and that they can exercise some control over their future by taking some concrete steps. Carol teaches readers an easy, surefire method to self-discover, self-assess, and self-plan-giving them full control over how they want to live in the years ahead. Readers will identify and evaluate their current challenges and then build the skills and confidence to get ahead of any landmines. She teaches readers not only how to age well but how to live well-by shaping the future they want rather than reacting to it. And Carol is living proof. Using the blueprint outlined in this book, Carol has created a successful, thriving lifestyle. She is independent, connected, safe, satisfied, healthy, and strong. This is what readers can enjoy if they follow the processes in the book.In Solo Aging, Carol speaks directly to the growing population of "solo agers," or people aged fifty-five and up who do or will not have the traditional familial supports most of our ancestors counted on as elders. The number of adults who live alone and far from family is growing. Relying on data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study (HRS), Harvard researchers examined trends among adults aged sixty-one to sixty-three over a twenty-year period (1994-2014). During this time, the percentage of adults living without a spouse or significant other grew from 25 percent to 31 percent. The number of older adults who live within 10 miles of a relative fell by 12 percent. It's common for siblings and children to live far away from one another, and the days of the three-generation household are, for the most part, long gone. Over the next forty years, solo aging is expected to be a major source of stress for close to 25 million of the sixty-five-plus population.

Book excerpt: Step aside, group trekkers! The lone wolves are taking the trail. If the idea of solo hiking has ever tickled your fancy, or if you’ve just had enough of Tom from work stealing your trail mix, this guide is about to become your new wilderness bestie. Ah, solo hiking. It's where serene introspection meets grit, and where Mother Nature serves up lessons with a side of "did I just hear a bear or was that my stomach?" This guide? Think of it as your trusty manual to navigate the beautiful chaos of it all. A trail veteran or a rookie, there's a nugget (or a boulder) of wisdom in here for you. Begin with your wardrobe (and no, flannel isn’t the only option). Dive deep into the world of gear. Ever considered that your backpack could be akin to a mobile man-cave? Or that your boots, when chosen right, could feel like foot-hugging clouds even on the rockiest terrains? Discover how to layer like a pro. Because while we appreciate a rugged look, no one's impressed by hypothermia. Speaking of gear, this book has a whole section dedicated to it. No more overpacking till you're mistaken for a mule. This guide ensures you're equipped without feeling like you're lugging around your entire garage. Solo doesn’t mean “solo meals,” by the way. Unearth the secrets of dining alone and find out why chocolate isn’t just for dessert. Or breakfast. Or lunch. Return from the wild, and no amount of fancy restaurant meals will beat the sheer joy of post-hike food delivery. Trust us. Hey gents, ever heard of the pee funnel? Well, there’s a chapter dedicated just for the lovely trail goddesses, but who's to say you won’t find it intriguing? Chronicle your escapades, and we're not just talking about the “I conquered this peak” selfies. Learn the ancient art of campfire storytelling. Just you, the whispering trees, and perhaps a captivated squirrel or two. Find your tribe of fellow lone rangers to swap stories and experiences. Spoiler: they’re out there, cherishing their solitude and the mutual disdain for unsolicited trail “tips.” By the end, you won’t just have memories of the trail, but tales fit for legends. (P.S. Every mysterious rustling isn’t a bear, sometimes it’s just Tom from work trying solo hiking.) So, whether you're looking to temporarily escape society, prove a point, or simply find out if trees are really the best listeners, this guide has your back. Ready to flex those calves, grow that beard (or not), and take on nature like the solo champ you were born to be? Let’s hit the trail, one introspectively step at a time. Adventure awaits, and it looks darn good on you!
