Workshop For Solo Agers

"An Opportunity To Plan Wisely For The Future"
By Sara Zeff Geber, PhD

Are you single? Child-free? Do your family members live far away? If you answered yes to these, you are likely a SOLO AGER.

If you have been following AO50 and The Scoop for several years, you may remember me from the cover and title article on "Solo Aging" in the Summer 2018 issue.

Now you can join me and fellow solo agers in a workshop designed to help you plan for a secure, safe, and supported future as we get older.

"How Much Money
Is Enough?"
By Evelyn Preston, Money Lady

“Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a big ship.”
--Benjamin Franklin

This and similar quotes equal financial planning in the proverbial nutshell.

And I’ll add close-to-home “advice.”

“You have plenty of money, mother; you’ve saved for years,” says one son. “You’ll be fine.”

“You don’t have as much you think, Mom,” says another; “better watch what you spend.”

My daughter hopes I’ll blow it all…on myself!

ASK LARRY
By Larry Hayes, A050 publisher

"Unmarried, My Partner Died Leaving No Will. Am I Entitled To Inherit Any Of His Assets?"

I’m sorry to say but the short answer is "no."

In California, if you are unmarried and your partner passes away without a will, you are not automatically entitled to inherit any of the assets.

California does not recognize “common law” marriages which means that living together for many years—even decades—does not grant you the same rights as a legally married spouse.

Afraid Of Losing
Your Memory?

French Professor Bruno Dubois, says don't worry about it.

"If anyone is aware of their memory problems, they do not have Alzheimer's."

After 60 years, most people have
"anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness.

It is not a disease but rather a characteristic due to the passage of years.

Time Does Not
Stand Still

Life is a task that we do ourselves every day.

When you look... it's already six in the afternoon; when you look...it's already Friday.

When one looks...the month is over; when one looks...the year is over; when one looks...50, 60, 70 and 80 years have passed!

When you look...we no longer know where our friends are. When you look...we lost the love of our life and now, it's too late to go back.

Do not stop doing something you like due to lack of time.
