    About this ebook

    What concerns do you have as you grow older without a spouse or partner?
    Will I outlive my money? Who would help me if I had a serious illness or injury? How do I make friends at my age?
    This book will help you find the answers to those questions and more:
    Everything you need to understand about Social Security and Medicare;
    How to thrive without the structure of a job;
    The truth about long-term care insurance;
    And much more.
    There won't be any pep talks about climbing Mt. Everest in your 90s.
    Instead, if you are ready for some straight answers about issues facing single seniors, this is the book you need.
