Bonus Episode Jan 06, 2021

Show notes

Our country is rapidly aging. People over 65 may nearly double over the next 40 years. We're also working later, living alone more often and facing greater financial hardship. Plus, the pandemic: 80% of COVID-related deaths in the U.S. have been people over 65.

In this bonus episode, I host the podcast Death, Sex & Money to break down some of the silence around aging by speaking with listeners about what it's like to get older.
