Widowhood/Divorce

Starting Over

Losing a life partner is not easy, whether that loss comes through death or divorce. Many widows, widowers, and divorcees may not know how to handle their money as single individuals. Questions may include:

• Can I afford to retire?
• How do I plan for my financial future?
