Most of the retirement books I’ve found are primarily about the financial needs for retirement and their focus is on married couples. Very little has been written for single women retiring.
Many are missing some of the more important topics including preparing for older age and the need for an advocate when we can no longer speak or do for ourselves while recovering from a critical event.
The first book I’ll review was published by AARP, THE SINGLE WOMAN’S GUIDE TO RETIREMENT. The author, Jan Cullinane has written a comprehensive guide that includes many subjects and gives examples of challenges we may face retiring alone.
