MONEY WITHOUT MATH

You're Not Alone: The Rise of Solo Living with Dr. Peter McGraw

Karen Coyne, CFP®

What does it mean to live a remarkable life—solo? Dr. Peter McGraw has spent the last five years exploring that question as a behavioral economist, author, and lifelong bachelor. In this conversation, we sit down with him to talk about how the world—and the financial industry—still defaults to couples, even as the number of single adults continues to rise.

There’s also a bigger conversation about how norms shape the way we think about money. Because nowadays, financial systems are full of outdated assumptions, but when you start asking different questions, the game can change.

In this episode:

  • The rise of “new way” singles and how their goals differ
  • Why single living often means luxury living
  • How financial planning norms can fail unmarried adults
  • What advisors (and clients) can do to rethink the script
