10 Benefits to Living Alone as An Older Woman

Did you know that almost 30% of women aged 50 and over in the United States live alone? I am one of them. Perhaps you are too!

There are at least 10 very good benefits to living alone! In this video I discuss them as they relate to me and perhaps you'll feel the same way!

As we get older, many women begin to think about how we want to spend our time and where we want to live. Many choose to live alone. Sometimes this reality is because of an unavoidable situation - loss of a partner, divorce or emotional traumas.

For some older women, living alone can be a source of anxiety, but in this very honest and transparent video, we explore the many benefits of living alone as an older woman. From having the freedom to create your own schedule to enjoying a sense of independence and privacy, there are countless advantages to living on your own.

We'll look into ten of the most compelling benefits, exploring topics such as personal growth, financial stability, and social connections. Whether you're considering living alone in the future or just curious about the possibilities, this video will offer valuable insights and inspiration.

The worst loneliness I have ever experienced was living in a bad marriage. I live alone now, for the first time in my life, and I couldn’t be happier and more at peace.

I am 60 and have lived alone for years. I don't have to answer to anyone, I love it.

My life revolved around my husband, nursed him through cancer bowel resection, helped him stop smoking, eat healthy. I neglected myself. Put on lots of weight working night shift to pay bills, he got very healthy no more cancer t and he slept with a friend who was slim, 7 years younger then me and left me. I was devastated, depressed at first. Now 3 years later, i see it as a blessing, I'm doing a bachelor degree lost weight, freedom. no more night shifts long working hours. No more washing, cooking, pleasing someone who never appreciated. Im 62 enjoying a single life. Doing what i want when i want 😋

I am 85 in good health and have been living alone for the last 25 years and I couldn’t be happier.

[rosaspanjol]

It’s better to be alone than in bad company.

[ghengis]

15 years, never been happier. No football, car racing, no arguments.
I'd compromised all my adult life, as a worker, mother and partner. I don't have to now. I do dislike people trying to get me to " join in". Ive joined in enough already, and now I'm joined up with myself. Joy!

Living alone as a female is wildly underrated it's a beautiful experience of peace and quiet where you can do what you want when you want without having to explain yourself 🎉❤

[nancyleader]

I live alone. When I’m sick I can ignore the dishes, and lie around a long time to recover. I don’t have to be embarrassed when I am being lazy, or talking on the phone too long. I don’t have to justify my existence to somebody else, and try to look busy.Every day I thank God for my blessed life. Friends and family make a difference. ❤

My husband of 19 years, and I separated 3 years ago. The first 2 years were an adjustment. The past year has been a journey of self discovery. I have chosen, at 62, to be I raised 3+ children, and survived 2 marriages. I love being alone and not having to deal with anyone else's stuff. 😂😂 I will never live with another man. I'm not a man hater. I just do not need this in my life anymore. I have friends and am not lonely!!

[christyhunter]

I was more lonely when I was married than I am now by myself. I have acquired a lot more friends and couldn't be happier. I don't have to go out of my way trying to make anyone happy. Being single is truly underrated.

[shellymillerleer]

I just love living alone after a 35 year marriage. I’ve been happier than I ever could have imagined. It’s underrated.

59 year old woman... single for 12-13 years and I couldn't be happier 💕

[sheriburke]

I’ve been divorced for 10 years now. I’ve spent the past 7 years creating my own space. My home is me. My yard is me. Everything in my home is me. I am always happy, peaceful, and calm. The thought of giving this up is unthinkable. I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life.

[maryshirley]

I love living alone. I can do what I want. Eat what I want. Go where I want. No one to be accountable to. Never been happier.

[sandradavis]

I am 68 years old. Been living alone since I moved from my parents' home at 20. I purposely chose a solo life. Worked as a nurse for 40 years. Challenges came and challenges went. If I had it to do again, wouldn't change a thing! I love, love, love living alone. Life's too short for messy drama.

My grandfather was ill and very demanding and cranky for the last ten years of his life. My grandmother tended to him by herself the entire time. She was in her mid fifties when he finally died. Being a child, I asked her if she'd find someone and marry again. She looked at me like I was crazy and asked, 'What for?' Yup, lots of very happy widows out there 😅

[vajee]

I’m divorced only seven months and I’m really getting to like living alone.
Very little laundry to do, I shop for the foods and cook what I like, everything stays clean and where I want it, watch what I like on TV, living more frugally, sleep in, stay in pajamas and shower in the afternoon; so many benefits!
