By 2045, the cost of living will have tripled.
In 1970, the average person could comfortably live on a retirement income of $8,000 per year.
Now, in 2025, that price has sixtupled.
To retire today, you need about $48,000 per year to retire. And by 2045, that number could be as high as $140,000.
When you’re a single parent, how can you possibly save for your child’s college education without sacrificing your future retirement needs?
You shouldn’t be forced to choose between yourself and your children.
Let’s face it—as a single parent, you need to prepare for your retirement and the challenges that aging brings. And at the same time, you want your children to have the best chances of success and happiness by giving them the opportunity to continue their education.
These are both admirable and responsible desires.
You shouldn’t have to choose one over the other.
It’s possible to save for retirement and assist your children through college as a single parent.
Before reading The Single Parent’s Playbook, I felt overwhelmed with the financial burden of saving for both my retirement and my children’s college education. Thanks to Handra Breatty’s advice and clear strategies, I not only started saving, but now also see a clear path to achieving both goals without feeling like I’ve had to sacrifice a lot.
