Advantages Of Aging While Living Alone

Growing older without any family members to rely on is widely regarded as a disadvantage. But that’s not the case if you look at the brighter side of things. Yes, there is a silver lining in being a “solo ager.” Growing old and childless can be advantageous.

One of the biggest benefits is that child-free seniors will never have to shoulder the cost of parenthood, which has an average price of $245,000 per child from birth until age 18.

Another advantage is that seniors who are children-free have more freedom in choosing where to spend their retirement years compared to those with families.

It’s also easy for older adults living alone to develop stronger bonds with friends and close relationships with their younger relatives.

  1. I started a group of 10 ladies who get together on the 3rd. Thursday of the month and play the phase 10 card game. We begin at 11 am and eat hour devours and drink wine. Then we have lunch at about 12:30 pm. and then go back to the card game. We are all retired ladies and we rotate the card game at different ladies’ homes.

    We also go to other events together, and some of us go to Zumba class together and others go to Line Dancing class together. This year, a number of us started working as substitutes in the office at our local school system. We keep pretty busy. But it all started with our card game.
