    LGBTQ+ elders are 2-3 times more likely to live alone and 4 times less likely to have children.

    LGBTQ+ elders are 2-3 times more likely to live alone and 4 times less likely to have children. This brings unique challenges for those aging solo, and opportunities for financial planners to help those clients thrive throughout their elderhood. An aging plan goes beyond estate planning -- rather, it's a plan for living and to maximize opportunities during that stage of life.
