CPR and Marketplace Present "Party of One: The Economics of Being Single"

In the United States, almost half of adults are single. Many of them aren’t looking to couple up, either. Even those who have partners are likely to find themselves alone in their later years, especially women. But this demographic reality collides with American culture, as well as current economic policies and conditions — from homeownership and taxes to investment and retirement planning. Kimberly Adams, Marketplace's senior Washington correspondent and co-host of the "Make Me Smart" podcast, hosts a panel discussion on the economics of being single and how to financially prepare for different stages of life.
