9 Benefits of Living Alone as an Older Person I Important Tips

[@EvePhillips-t6p]

I'm 73 years old and love living alone. Not picking up dirty socks, not having to put down the toilet seat and more. Get up when I want and can do whatever I want. FREEDOM !!!.

My late hubby was great about the toilet seat and he was actually a more tidy person than I was/am. LOL I did have to instill in him it was not necessary to roll socks and underwear into the smallest tightest ball imaginable before putting them in the hamper. Otherwise he was amazing about man things. I was lucky.

I'm 73 years old and live alone. I enjoy visits from my kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. I help them as much as I'm able and they help me so I can stay in my house. I've given up my bad habits and pretty well manage to look after myself. Other than my family I don't need or want anyone. Living alone is fine in my denouement years. My family contacts are all positive so you might say I'm blessed. We should all seek wisdom which often amounts to keeping my mouth shut when it is appropriate and jumping in where it will be helpful. So far we are all getting along well or as they say "the proof is in the pudding".

I'm 74 and live with my husband. We have no children, grandchildren and i outlived my 6 siblings. I dread the day I'll lose my beloved husband. My nieces and nephews are self centered and never visit. Getting old is terrible

[@RockerProf]

Living in a house without anybody else is not the same thing as being alone. Having someone else around all the time would make me crazy. I can barely deal with all the things I have to do for myself. When there is someone else around, there is a subconscious obligation to incorporate them in everything you do. If you live with someone, you can't just ignore them. I could not create music when I wanted to because that might disturb somebody. I like my tidy, clean, organized, clutterless space. And I see people frequently, just not in my house

I live alone about 6 months a year unless son and grandson visit. The other 6 months I live in a Middle Eastern country with my 80+ year old husband. Sometimes we go live with my sister in law. I get the best and worst of both worlds continually.

We are a close family. If ever one of us passes away we will never be alone.

I am married and 83 years old. Yet, I have never felt so lonely and empty in my life.

The moving and downsizing is not what it once was. In today's economy, it can be expensive and unaffordable. How many articles have we seen: "Boomers (who wish to move and or downsize) are holding on to their big/family homes"?

Time stamps are appreciated by Older People.
