[quote=Anonymous]Those are all excellent questions, op, that even people with kids should be asking. Too many people make no plans for their old age. I would say that you should look for a community where there are people of similar minds and hobbies, yes, a retirement community—something like The Villages, but suited to your personality—also, engaging in activities, even going to grad school or taking classes at colleges near you, for a degree, or just for learning. I finished a Master's degree last year, at 50. I hope to go for a Ph.D. several years from now. I was far from the only old student there. Apart from keeping your brain busy and learning, which is an excellent thing, it gives you things to do. Read, finish reports, and become a more open person and not one of those curmudgeon old folk.[/quote]
