Yvette is a recently-widowed 63-year-old. The couple had no children, and when her husband died, she was the beneficiary of his $45,000 life insurance policy. She also receives benefits from his retirement plan and social security, but this income falls about $300 short of covering her regular monthly expenses, which includes a sizeable amount for health insurance. In the months since her husband's death, she sold their larger home and purchased a condominium, netting $80,000 from the combined transactions. Yvette was a homemaker all her life, and her husband handled all their finances, so Yvette is just learning how to balance her checkbook. One thing she does know is that she is going to have to purchase a new car within the next few months. Yvette is in good health and expects to live at least another 25 years.
