Hi everyone, i am 65 and need, not urgently, to start a new separate life. Its complex, weve been together 40+ years. I am looking to ensure i wont live on the breadline. But, well need to sell a lot of things.

i just dont know how/where to start.

HI EMLeigh

welcome to the forum,

I am around your age and for different reasons have had to me and have a new life with my partner.

For whatever reason change at our age can be hard.

It sounds like although you have decided on a new life because it is complex you are unsure where to start.

Maybe talking to someone may help . It is up to you. If you want to talk some more here we are listening.

.As Tay said the forum is friendly . Thanks again for reaching out.

Hi EMLeigh,

Welcome to BB.

Can I ask does your partner know you want to live a seperate life and is supportive of this? I'm only asking as it could be easier to sell things and they might be able to help you with this.

It would be very daunting starting a new life but I commend you for wanting/ needing a fresh start as I'm sure you have good reasons.

I've started over again many times. I've also had to sell things which isn't always easy but for the best.

We are here to support you.
