Quotes to ponder:

"Someone who is single doesn’t have to prepare for as long of a retirement as a married couple. A married couple is planning for the longest surviving partner, not just one person."

"If you’re married, your spouse can take care of you if something happens but what happens if you’re by yourself? It behooves someone to look into these contingencies."

"You may want to consider looking into a nursing home. It really helps for someone to know for certain if something were to happen they have this planned."
