About this item
Whether widowed, divorced, married, or single, more and more women of retirement age are taking control of their lives. Maturing with Moxie takes a close look at personal and professional circumstances affecting women over sixty by surveying the best and latest thinking on issues from housing to health care, finances to family, and combines them all in one practical, go-to volume. The veteran consultant Jan Cannon takes a comprehensive approach to a range of decisions facing women as they age, and offers sensible, helpful advice on everyday questions about employment, Medicare, changing family dynamics, and dating. Drawing on her extensive client case files, Cannon poses provocative questions, designs useful exercises, and offers clear, upbeat examples of women moving forward with purpose.
About the Author
Jan Cannon, PhD, author of Maturing With Moxie (ForeEdge, 2018) and Now What Do I Do? (Capital Books, 2005) was widowed at age 36 and raised two children as a single mom. Now, as she's in her 60s, she wonders if her health, social networks, housing choices, work history, and money management will allow her to retire in comfort, if not in style. After investigating all the topics presented in this book, she felt she should share her newfound knowledge with other women to help them avoid her fear: becoming needy and dependent. Following her own suggestions, she's planning on living to a ripe old age.
