Summary
Seven audience groups anchor Christine Benz’s new “Retirement Planning for Real Life” video series, which tailors retirement advice to family situations that standard plans often miss.
The episodes target people who are single, widowed, child-free couples, later-life parents, age-gap couples, one-income couples, and parents raising a child with a disability.
Practical steps highlighted across the series include building emergency savings, planning for long-term-care costs, and setting up a special-needs trust where relevant.
Five upcoming installments are scheduled weekly from Aug. 6 through Sept. 3, extending the series’ focus on customized retirement planning beyond one-size-fits-all guidance.

Why can one-size-fits-all retirement advice fail families with age gaps, late parenthood, or disability caregiving needs?
What should couples ask before choosing between retirement savings, Social Security timing, long-term care planning, and a special needs trust?
