We often make plans for the future with the assumption that a spouse, children, or close family members will be there to help us carry them out. But what happens when that isn’t the case? A growing number of adults are navigating their later years without a spouse or children to rely on for support. These individuals, often called “solo agers,” face unique challenges that require proactive, thoughtful planning.
