Fear of my future

[dkisopeace924]

I'm 57. Divorced when my daughter was 1yo. Never remarried. So scared of my future. What does growing old look like with no one to care for you. Also, fearul of whether to purchase a home or rent. Currently living with family after a cancer treatments in 2020. Ready to go, at the same time terrified of making the wrong decision and living alone. Want to retire, but just promoted with more pay. Feeling trapped all around.

Welcome to the community.

Have you thought about sitting down with a financial advisor or retirement specialist? Maybe having a professional look at your portfolio can answer your questions regarding buying/renting and give you an idea of your retirement outlook.

Making the decision to move out has got to be anxiety producing.

Wishing you well

I totally get that fear. Just know you are not alone. I think you will feel better after you make some decisions and, even if they don't end up being right for you, you can change your mind and do something else. I hope you can trust yourself to know what's right for you.
