Are there any other single gay guys (50+) out here?

I'm not looking for dating/relationship advice/offers.

I'm asking single gay men: What are your retirement plans?

Is there a retirement village where all the gays go to?

Right now, I rent in SF. I'm alone

Sorry you never got an answer. My plan is to get a part time job until I can’t work anymore. I will probably end up taking care of family members as I am the youngest. I have saved up for retirement and will also get social security and Medicare if it still exists by the time I retire.

Hopefully I will have enough stashed away and enough brain cells left in my old age to live in a care facility when the time comes.

I did read an interesting article recently about younger gay men getting nursing degrees going into business taking care of older gay men. If I can find the link, I will add it here.

Thank you very much for replying. I agree about the part time job. I save religiously for retirement. I, too, hope and believe, I will have enough stashed away.

Guess I'm just looking for that 'care facility' now (for gay men). Which is crazy since I'm 50 and not intending to croak for a couple decades
