Remember The Golden Girls, the TV show about four feisty ladies who came together as Florida roommates after they had experienced divorce and widowhood? Back in the day, I couldn't get enough of Blanche's romantic adventures, Dorothy's no-nonsense manner, Sophia's saucy comebacks and Rose's Minnesota naiveté. Now, I realize that the ’80s sitcom wasn't just a cultural commentary about aging and friendship, but also a blueprint for how to live an affordable retirement.
