Deborah Carr, the lead author of a study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, noted that “married people do better than unmarried people” in various economic measurements

— from income to wealth to poverty rate.

This was the case, she said, even when the researchers factored in personal traits, such as health, personality traits, and education level, that could explain the differences between groups.

“There’s the assumption that if you’re a married man, you’re going to work really hard, and you’re really stable.

And as a result, you deserve the raises, you deserve the promotion,” she says.

Divorced people also struggle more financially than those who have married, although ending a marriage has a bigger impact on women’s wallets: divorced women had about 40% of the wealth of married women, per the study.

Carr said this may be because women prioritized their families and home lives.

“A lot of the sacrifices that women make when they are married come back to hurt them once that marriage ends,” she said.

A new study finds that married people tend to build wealth and avoid poverty better in old age than unmarried people.

The United States is experiencing a profound generational shift in marriage: most Americans still walk down the aisle before retirement age, but a growing number are staying single.

While Census Bureau data says that just 4% of people aged 75 and over have never married, the figure rises to 8% of Americans aged 65 to 74 and 13% from 55 to 64.

As more people age alone, they may face more significant financial risks.

On average, married people have higher household incomes and net worth and are less likely to be poor than those who are divorced, widowed, or have never gotten married.

This is according to a study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, which examined data tracking 5,269 people in Wisconsin from the ages of 18 to 72 between 1957 and 2011.

The biggest surprise was the struggle of single men.

Compared with men who are divorced, widowed, or married, lifelong singles’ total household incomes were about half those of married men.

18.3% of men who had never married were poor, compared with 3.6% of married men.

The study suggests that multiple challenges buffet single people’s finances.

For instance, they don’t have a partner to split the costs of life.

Over decades, they have had to cover the costs of everything—from housing to hotel rooms to toothpaste—by themselves.

When they encounter obstacles, such as needing a caregiver during an illness, they may be more likely to need to pay someone to assist them.

Moreover, in the U.S., married people have access to various legal and policy privileges, such as collecting
Social Security benefits based on a spouse’s earnings or as much as half of their spouse’s benefit after a divorce.

It’s important to note that elder abuse can occur in various settings, including the home, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals.

Often, victims of elder abuse are hesitant to report it due to fear, shame, or cognitive impairments.

It’s crucial for family members, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to be vigilant and report any signs or suspicions of elder abuse to the appropriate authorities or agencies.

Legal protections and support services are available to help prevent and address elder abuse.

11/07/2025

Elder abuse is the intentional mistreatment or harming of an older person.

An older person is defined by the Social Security Act as someone over age 60.

This abuse takes many forms – including physical, emotional, neglect, sexual harm, and financial exploitation.

More than 1 in 10 older adults experience some form of abuse each year. That number is likely much higher because elder abuse is often underreported– especially in underserved communities.

Abuse victims typically show emotional and behavioral red flags, such as depression, unusual fear or anxiety, or intentional isolation.

Many victims are abused by someone they know or trust. It’s important to look for unusual changes in behavior around:

• Family members.
• Staff at inpatient facilities.
• Hired or volunteer caregivers.
• People in positions of trust like doctors or financial advisors.

You can also help make a difference by checking in with older loved ones.

Looking for warning signs of mistreatment is the first step to preventing abuse.

Signs of physical abuse include bruises, burns, or other unexplained injuries.

There may also be signs of neglect like:

• Poor nutrition or hygiene.
• Lack of necessary medical aids like glasses or medications that a caretaker should be providing.

There may also be indications of financial abuse.

These may include:
• Unpaid rent.
• Sudden changes to a will.
• Unusual changes in money management.
• Large, unexplained financial transactions.
• Mortgages despite sufficient financial resources.
• Allowing someone new to access bank accounts.

If you suspect that someone is a victim of elder abuse, don’t ignore it!

Interesting recent research published in the Gerontologist ⬇️

Birthday cards intended for age 30 to 60 contained significantly more ageist messages compared to cards intended for age 21 and age 70 to 100, which did not show a significant difference from each other.

Additionally, birthday cards with humor showed more ageist messages than cards without humor.

Both blatant and subtle ageist messages portrayed in birthday cards are an indicator of larger systemic problems in society.

Learning to recognize these messages in birthday cards, questioning them, and choosing an alternate option is one small step in the right direction to halting the spread of ageist messages.

Fall prevention is an important topic to consider as you get older.

Physical changes and health conditions — and sometimes the medications used to treat those conditions — make falls more likely as you age.

In fact, falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults. Still, fear of falling doesn’t need to rule your life. Instead, consider six simple fall prevention strategies.

→ Make an appointment with your health care provider
Start by making an appointment with your health care provider. To assess your risk and discuss fall prevention strategies, your healthcare provider may want to talk about your medications, any previous falls, and any medical conditions.

→ Keep Moving
Physical activity can go a long way toward fall prevention. With your health care provider’s OK, consider activities such as walking, water workouts or tai chi — a gentle exercise that involves slow and graceful dance-like movements. These activities reduce the risk of falls by improving strength, balance, coordination and flexibility.

→ Wear sensible shoes
Consider changing your footwear as part of your fall prevention plan. High heels, floppy slippers and shoes with slick soles can make you slip, stumble and fall. So can walking in your stocking feet. Instead, wear properly fitting, sturdy, flat shoes with nonskid soles. Sensible shoes may also reduce joint pain.

→ Remove home hazards
Light up your living space
Keep your home brightly lit to avoid tripping on objects that are hard to see.

→ Use assistive devices
Your health care provider might recommend using a cane or walker to keep you steady.

If necessary, ask your healthcare provider for a referral to an occupational therapist.

An occupational therapist can help you brainstorm other fall prevention strategies. Some solutions are easily installed and relatively inexpensive.

Others may require professional help or a larger investment.

If you’re concerned about the cost, remember that prioritizing fall prevention is an investment in your independence.

When engaging in Halloween activities with someone who has memory challenges, it’s essential to adapt the activities to their cognitive abilities and preferences.

Keep a relaxed and patient approach, and focus on the enjoyment and connection rather than the outcome.

Additionally, consider their comfort and sensory sensitivities while planning any activity.

Being a family caregiver is a role that comes with immense responsibility and, at times, emotional and physical challenges.

It’s natural to feel overwhelmed by the demands of caregiving, but in the midst of this, it’s important to remember that the bond you share with your loved one is still a source of joy, connection, and love.

While caregiving can be exhausting, creating moments of fun and shared experiences can uplift both of you.

These moments don’t have to be grand—whether it’s reminiscing over old photos, watching a favorite movie, listening to music, or enjoying a simple walk together, these small joys can spark fond memories and deepen your connection.

Laughter and lightheartedness can also relieve stress, offering a reprieve from the more difficult aspects of caregiving.

By focusing on the time you still have to share, you allow yourself and your loved one to experience more than just the caregiving routine.

These joyful moments can be the memories you hold onto in the future.

Caregiving is a journey, and while it comes with challenges, finding time for fun can remind you both of the love and connection that make this role so meaningful.

At Sage Solutions we try to take as much off of your plate so that you can have more energy and time to experience moments like this.
