There’s a growing trend of people going through retirement alone. Whether it’s because of the loss of a spouse, the rise in divorces among baby boomers, or entirely by choice, more and more retirees are going through their golden years solo. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean is joined by wealth planners Andy Smith and Isabel Barrow to talk about the challenges of retiring alone and what you can do to prepare for a less stressful solo retirement. Then, Jean is joined by Rodney Weaver, a director of estate planning at Edelman Financial Engines, to discuss options for solo retirees to help prepare financially for the rest of their lives.  



Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners. That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses. The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).
