Single Baby Boomer Women Are Happy, Empowered and Fit
Published at
Fuse/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Take no pity on single women who are 55 and older. Many of them say they’re having the time of their lives.
In a survey of so-called Baby Boomer women, Del Webb, the builder of adult communities, says that almost three-quarters of them claim to be happier now than when they were 35.
The same number also felt more empowered today than when they were much younger.
Del Webb broke the single women into four categories: never been married, separated, divorced and widowed and for the most part, the results were around the same for all the women 55 and up.
Most felt younger than their age and more active than when they were 35. In fact, eight in ten agreed that staying physically healthy is very important and almost seven in ten say it’s a top priority.
To that end, close to two-thirds of single women 55 and older say they exercise at least a few times a week.
