Description: Living well in retirement depends on a variety of decisions people make as they prepare for and enter this new chapter of life and living. Women approaching and experiencing life in their senior years are the largest and fastest-growing part of the population. Today's senior women live longer, are healthier, better educated, more involved in the world, and more active than the women who preceded us. Meet women who reveal the realities of life for retirement-age women, and demonstrate the dreams, joys, concerns, and fears that come along with this phase of life.
