Solo agers--the millions of Americans without a biological child or the traditional family structure that is the foundation of informal long-term services and supports for older adults, particularly those age 80 and older-- have both advantages and challenges from being child-free. The independence and freedom to pursue career, economic, and lifestyle aspirations afforded by the absence of child-rearing responsibilities also result in increased responsibilities for caregiving and related costs for married couples, widows and widowers, and unmarried individuals. Those living alone at advanced age are particularly at risk unless they have done considerable advance planning as well for financial security, caregiving support, and social connectedness. Ideally, this includes adequate guidance and advice from financial professionals aware of and responsive to their long-term needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
