[quote=Anonymous]Well, if you really have no one you could take some roommates, Golden Girls style. But I agree with PPs that 55+ communities are great -- my ILs are in one and have a vibrant social life there -- plus you can build wonderful friendships through hobbies, travel, and volunteering. My parents have friends all over the country that they met on a Rick Steves tour. I think you are little unrealistic about having friends of all ages, though. You absolutely can meet a wide range through activities, but in general young people are busy and they don't get a lot out of relationships with the elderly. I feel like you are turning away from more feasible solutions because they are not your ideal, not recognizing they are way better than your status quo where you have not made friends in your current hometown.[/quote]
