Perspectives from Solo Boomers

This is an important and timely topic.  As a soloboomer and life coach, after taking this survey, my clients and I found the survey provided useful awareness and triggered another question and action step - "What can I do now that will serve me when I am older and make aging a rewarding experience?" 

Susan, 52, Life Coach, Massachusetts

For me, being single is an acceptable and comfortable life, though not a conscious choice.  Education and career choices became more important to me than actively finding a partner.  Not becoming a parent naturally followed, when relationships remained short term.  Today, I find it disconcerting that I'm considered “middle-aged” and living a lifestyle that’s considered odd for someone my age.
