Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You don't have to wait until 65 to prepare for 65.What happens if you're aging without a spouse, an adult child, or a family member nearby to step in?Nearly one in four Americans over 50 already lives alone, and by some projections, most Americans over 80 will be aging without a spouse or adult child close enough to help. If that's you, or might be you, the time to build a plan is now, while you still have decades of runway, not after a fall, a diagnosis, or a hospital hallway forces the question.How to Get Ready for 65 is a practical guide for adults 45 to 58 who want to prepare before a crisis makes the decision for them. It's built for readers who are still working, still building savings, and don't have a paid-off house or a large portfolio, the reader most existing solo-aging books skip past.Inside, you'll learn how to: - Map out who would actually show up for you in an emergency, and build a real support network instead of a long contact list- Put a healthcare proxy, power of attorney, and will in place, often for under $200 and a few afternoons- Organize financial and digital access so someone you trust can actually act when it matters- Decide whether your current home will work for the next twenty years, or whether it's time to plan for something else- Build the health habits and everyday connections that keep you independent longer- Turn everything in this book into a realistic timeline, sorted by what's cheap and urgent versus what can waitThe book is organized around three things that matter most: People. Paperwork. Place. Each chapter ends with a short, specific list of what to actually do next, not just something to think about.You don't have to predict your future. You just need to be ready for it.
