Abstract
We examined how financial stability shapes priorities for aging in place. Two hundred thirty-six adults aged 50 and older rated the importance of multiple aging-in-place domains, along with their worry and confidence. Analyses consider how income and debt predict the number of prioritized domains and the likelihood of extreme worry.
