Bill Losey, America\u2019s Retirement Strategist\u00ae and 401(k) rollover expert, publishes a new blog discussing some of the challenges faced by those who retire without a spouse.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Saratoga Springs, NY. \u2013 August 8, 2012 <\/strong>\u2013 \u201cRetiring along presents unique challenges,\u201d writes Bill Losey, author and retirement expert<\/a> and advisor. Bill recently wrote a blog discussing a sometimes overlooked group of retirees \u2013 those facing retirement \u201csolo.\u201d The blog, found on his website https:\/\/www.BillLosey.com<\/a>, is titled \u201cRetiring Solo\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSingles 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\u2019t draw on the financial resources of a spouse,\u201d writes Losey.<\/p>\n

Bill covers several ways that those who are retiring \u201csolo\u201d should prepare differently than those who will retire as a couple.\u00a0 Some of these topics include, \u201cthe need to save early and consistently,\u201d \u201cthe possibility of building wealth through real estate,\u201d \u201cthe possible need for long-term coverage\u201d and \u201cthe value of a social circle,\u201d among others.<\/p>\n

On the value of a social circle, Bill writes, \u201c\u2019Family\u2019 has many different definitions today \u2013 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
