This book is intended for women who figured out how to make their way in the working world and are now ready to fire up a meaningful retirement. To navigate each stage, this upbeat book lays out five simple ideas to make this new life more fun, more purposeful and less unnerving. After the co-authors retired, they created Lustre, a blog devoted to retired career women who wanted a new approach to retirement-a way to take control over the next third of their lives. They distilled what they learned about figuring out who you are now, how to find renewed purpose, and how and why you must consciously challenge outdated stereotypes about age and retirement. They wrote this book to inspire a new movement of women who are prepared once again to come together to discover new ways of being strong. This book is not a manual or a "how to." It presents a new way to think about being true to yourself. Pick it up when those outdated concepts get you down and you're dreaming of finally living the authentic life you deserve. Experience what retirement can be for a new generation of women.

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.
