Award-winning journalist Diane Harris wrote an excellent article on planning for solo aging for the Retiring column of the Sunday, September 22, 2024 edition of the New York Times.
In it she interviewed and quoted solo aging thought leaders Sara Zeff Geber, Joy Loverde, Navigating Solo Network founder Ailene Gerhardt, and Rob Lyman. Each offered insights about planning for solo aging. She also highlighted The Navigating Solo website!
What people have said about the article:
“This was an excellent piece on this important demographic and topic. Full of actionable insight!”
“As a mid-40s solo human in the middle of doing this planning, I love seeing this type of content!. There’s a frustrating lack of advice out there around planning as a single, childfree human. So much seems to center on planning when you’re young (with the intent to someday partner up and have a family). Great read!”
“Really important to read and reflect on, single or not. Very well done.”
“People who are and will be living alone (eventually all of us if we live long enough) will learn that planning goes a long, long way. Thank you for your excellent coverage of a complicated subject.”
”So very good to see [solo aging thoughts] in this formidable piece. Significant because 1. Solutions are offered (not simply plight). 2 The NY Times covering Solo Aging (Hello, we are here, we have relevance). Make sure, Everyone, to know about this growing demographic within our aging population.”
We, at the Navigating Solo Network, are so grateful to Diane Harris for her well received and impactful article!
