I am a healthy 50 year-old man who loves living alone. The author of this article seems to imply that living alone means a person must be a hermit. Not true! It is quite easy to have a satisfying social life without sharing a home with someone else. I date. I spend time with family, my fishing buddies and my watching-sports-at-the-pub buddies. I travel often for for work which has provided close aquaintences all across the world. I play YMCA basketball at least twice a week and I golf with a league in the summer. Sometimes, I feel like I don't have enough alone time. But when I do get some solitude, it's not lonely because I do enjoy my own company. Other benefits: I sleep much better alone (shhh don't tell my girlfriend). My house is always clean and the fridge contains only the things that I like. My time is completely my own. My financial resources are also completely in my control. I believe that at my age and situation in life, living alone is absolutely the most peaceful, low-stress, and satisfying way to live.
