Starting Over

When I read the introduction to Tom Blake's website finding love after 50 the word that caught my attention was "lonely". And I thought of Harry Chapin's poignant song "Everybody's Lonely". 

"All I got is time, nothing else is mine... Yes, I know I have a lifetime coming, But I've got it all figured out, everybody’s lonely, that’s what it's all about."

In the pre-retirement years one may be faced with several major life issues and transitions, e.g. the "empty nest", caring for elderly parents, and loneliness due to the loss of a partner. 

Tom Blake is an Author and syndicated columnist and an authority on finding love after 50. If you are a senior looking for companionship. or a late-in-life relationship, visit Tom's top ranking website and subscribe to his weekly newsletter.

The economic collapse of 2008 has critically decreased the savings and investments of many Boomers.
