About this listen
You wake up, and for a second or two everything is as it used to be. Then you remember. The coffee maker still makes enough for two out of habit, and you pour the second cup down the sink. Maybe you were widowed. Maybe your marriage of thirty years ended, or you walked out of it with your head up. Maybe the job you gave decades to was restructured out from under you, or the youngest child moved across the country. However you got here, you are starting over after fifty-five, and nobody handed you the manual.
On My Own Terms is that manual. Claire Bennett walks you through the first numb weeks, the money and paperwork, the quiet house and the bigger life that can follow, one practical step at a time. You'll learn how to:
• Get through the first year alone, by planning ahead for the anniversaries and holidays and rewriting the ones that no longer fit
• Claim every dollar you're owed, including Social Security on an ex-husband's record if your marriage lasted ten years, and why one woman wishes she'd known before her marriage ended at nine years and seven months
• Find an advisor you can trust by asking one question, "Are you a fiduciary at all times?", and spot the scams aimed at women living alone
• Close the trap that catches so many divorced women, where an ex-husband is still named as the beneficiary on a 401(k) or life insurance policy
• Decide whether to stay in your home, downsize, rent, share or move near family, and test the choice before you commit
• Handle the car, the house repairs and the passwords someone else used to look after, and hire help without being taken advantage of
• Rebuild your strength, balance and sleep, and calm the worries that arrive at three in the morning
• Make new friends on purpose, set boundaries with grown children, date again or choose not to, and share family gatherings with an ex
