Women Retiring Alone to a New City/State: Where Will You Go and Why?
July 28, 2010 — “Women retiring alone to a new city/state — where will you go and why?” is the title of a posting made in September 2007 by a woman who calls herself Wisteria on www.city-data.com.
City-Data is a social networking site offering a wealth of information on town and cities throughout the U.S. The site, visited by millions, also offers a look into the lives and lifestyles of its posters, who offer insights and advice on the places in which they live or to which they may be moving.
Now, getting back to Wisteria –
“I am planning on retiring alone, but in a different area from where I am now (California) due to the costs.”
“I am curious if there are other single/divorced/widowed women out there considering relocating to another area by themselves, and if so to where, and why that location?”
“I am very torn about where to go. I love the sunshine and dry weather — factors in my choices. I also want a social network, and am an eastcoaster, originally, and am wondering if I should reconsider the eastcoast because it seems more social. It will also just be my retirement income (it’s just me!), and so lower costs, rather than higher, are important.”
“I’m not really old enough for the senior centers, as I’ve noticed they seem to be more filled with the 70 and over crowd. Therefore, since I am still lively and young at heart, I am looking for a place where older singles still mingle. I am searching out places that may work for a single retired woman.”
Wisteria’s thoughts — and those of her online friends posting over the past three years — provide an interesting, informative and enjoyable sharing of life’s adventures. And you just may want to contribute some thoughts of your own to the discussion. Continue reading…
