These challenges can be difficult to face, but there are strategies that can help. Doe offers a number of tips for coping with the financial challenges of aging. She encourages readers to plan for retirement early, to save money, and to invest wisely. She also suggests that readers consider downsizing their home or moving to a more affordable location.
