Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) October 15, 2012
The number of single women age 45 and older in the United States is 25 million—and growing every year. For them, retirement planning offers unique challenges. On average, women have fewer savings and live longer than men. They have different health needs and are more likely to care for family members. This means they need a unique set of guidelines for approaching all facets of retirement, including finances, working after leaving a primary career, relocation, health, travel, giving back, and caregiving.
AARP’s new book The Single Woman’s Guide to Retirement (Wiley; 978-1-118-22950-7; October 2012; $18.95), is the only book out there that approaches retirement for single women in a holistic manner.
