But the representative from […]

Do you think quotes can influence daily decisions? Can they offer us guidance? Do people just read them and forget them, or do you have certain ones you have framed on your wall? Written on post-it notes and stuck to the fridge or the bathroom mirror? I think we all have favorites. One of mine […]

Jealously is a human emotion that we all share to some degree. If you're over fifty and new to being single again, some of you will no doubt feel it a little stronger than those of us who have been single for a few years. Especially if your partner has replaced you or traded you […]

If you're over fifty, chances are you aren't raising children. They are likely grown up and gone. Maybe they are raising children.

Some people suffer from mediocrity. I don't. I enjoy it! But. it's one thing living alone this way, it's entirely another thing if your marriage suffers from it. If you aren't quite ready to join us here at 50alone.com, you might want to re-examine your relationship to make sure you don't wind up here by […]

No one said, that just because you're over fifty and alone, that you can't date. Wanting to stay single and live alone doesn't necessarily exclude dating. You don't get kicked out of the club if you do. Some of you... may even retire from your singlehood, and (heaven forbid) get married again!! You need some […]

A lot of us will know someone who never seems to be without work or opportunities. I've met a few people like this. One friend in particular always managed to get himself into situations that proved advantageous.
