Not everyone enjoys crowded restaurants, loud bars, packed festivals, or busy weekend events. For many seniors, crowded places are not exciting; they are tiring, distracting, or uncomfortable. Background noise can make conversation difficult. Long lines can be stressful. Parking may be inconvenient. Seating may be limited. A place that looks lively to one person may f...more
For many people in their twenties or thirties, moving in together is often viewed as the natural next step in a relationship. After fifty, however, life usually looks very different. Homes have been paid for. Retirement plans are already in motion. Adult children may still visit often. Some people are caring for aging parents, while others have finally created a peace...more

For decades, many people believed that reaching your fifties meant finding a long-term partner again after divorce, loss, or retirement. Today, that assumption is changing.
