While Bri thinks the title is a bit misleading, and discusses the emphasis placed on couples. She challenges the notion that those in dual-income households will eventually be solo agers, noting the resource disparities between DINKS and true soloists. Dr. Jay gets caught in the introvert-extrovert battle when it comes to community building and the ethical dilemma of depending on friends to care for you. Throughout the book you’ll find three common themes: community, health, and planning. While you may not be actively thinking about aging, Dr. Geber has also provided a variety of resources that can be helpful in preparing for the future.
