News flash! We’re getting older!

Yep, we are getting older as a population. So I’ve added a new section on my website called Age 55+ Resources to address some key topics related to downsizing, wealth management, retirement planning, and aging parents. (Please scroll down to this section on the Resources page.)

The Population Reference Bureau (PRB) reports that the number of people in the United States of ages 65 and older is expected to increase rapidly over the next 40 years. They project that the number of people in this age group will more than double, from 40 million today to 89 million by the year 2050.

This means that there is an increasing need for planning resources for this population as well as for their parents.

Many aging adults are unaware of the available care options and programs that can help them maintain their independence and quality of life. So a group called SeniorAdvice.com has created free resources that provide comprehensive information on topics like financial support and in-home care options that are available in their area. 

So far, I have included a resource on my website for the following topics:

Guide to Downsizing, guide to wealth management, planning for retirement, financial stress relief, senior living communities, assisted living, transportation, avoiding senior scams, and combating nursing home abuse. I will continue to supplement these resources.
