Planning for Retirement as a Single Person

Growing older without a spouse or adult children means you'll need to build support who can help with your finances, make medical decisions and prevent you from becoming isolated as you grow ol...
Create an income safety net
Many singles don't have a strong enough backup plan to cover the costs of a major illness or other problems.
Ensure you have enough cash on hand to cover emergencies. For singles, the aim is between nine and twelve months of living expenses in a savings account. As you near retirement, consider bulking up to at least two years of living expenses.
Long-term disability policies
Group long-term disability policies offered by employers typically replace up to 60% of your income.
To ensure you have enough coverage, aim to bring your total coverage up to 80% o 90% of your take-home pay, including bonuses and commissions.

Christians marriage ceremonies in the Middle Age
In the Middle Age, Christians did not need to marry inside of the church: whenever they came to the consent over the union, they could get married anywhere.
The difficult part was proving ...
Getting married as a minor of age
In the Middle Age, one only needed to have reached the age for puberty in order to be able to get married.
Furthermore, the parents' approval was not even necessary. However, rules like asking for your landlord's consent or marrying only persons from the same class were given a lot of importance.
Consent to get married
Back in the Middle Age, the consent to get married could be either verbal or physical. Sexual intercourse counted as physical consent.
On the other hand, giving your word to marry somebody or offering a gift to that person, even without having a sexual relationship, would also lead to marriage.
