Retiring Solo: The Challenges No One Talks About


Listen Later

Retirement planning looks very different when you’re doing it on your own. In this episode, Jason Bergey discusses the unique challenges facing solo retirees, from managing liquidity and healthcare risks to making Social Security and withdrawal decisions without a spouse to lean on. The conversation also explores how upbringing and past economic experiences shape spending habits in retirement, why inflation can quietly erode confidence, and how thoughtful planning helps balance income, flexibility, and legacy goals. It’s an honest look at navigating retirement decisions when you’re the sole decision‑maker.
