Retirement Expert Bill Losey Addresses Challenges Faced By Those Facing Retirement Alone

Aug. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- “Retiring along presents unique challenges,” writes Bill Losey, author and retirement expert and advisor. Bill recently wrote a blog discussing a sometimes overlooked group of retirees – those facing retirement “solo.” The blog, found on his website http://www.BillLosey.com, is titled “Retiring Solo”.

“Singles who retire may lack a spousal and familial support network other retirees count on. If a lone retiree faces sizable medical bills, he or she can’t draw on the financial resources of a spouse,” writes Losey.

Bill covers several ways that those who are retiring “solo” should prepare differently than those who will retire as a couple.  Some of these topics include, “the need to save early and consistently,” “the possibility of building wealth through real estate,” “the possible need for long-term coverage” and “the value of a social circle,” among others.

On the value of a social circle, Bill writes, “’Family’ has many different definitions today – and increasingly, single retirees are creating family-like bonds by moving in with one another, and saving household expenses as well. This can be good for the soul, and some solo retirees with few or no living relatives go so far as to assign power of attorney to a close friend in case of emergency.”
