The number of older Americans living alone is on the rise. Nearly 16 million people aged 65 and older in the US lived solo in 2022, three times as many who lived alone in that age group in the 1960s. And as Baby Boomers age, that number is expected to grow even more, raising big questions about the country’s future.

I wouldn’t mind going back to school, but I’m only in my 40s. Think I could pull off a Maeby Funke and put on a grey wig and glasses before going to the admissions office?
Absolutely I think you could pull it off. They might take issue with your birth date tho.
Jultober is totally a month, tho.
That’s only for auditing classes. Retirees tend to only take classes for the love of learning. They are good to have in classrooms and don’t whine and complain to professors during office hours.
