More women in Singapore are staying single into their 40s and 50s, and they’re planning their future in practical, mindful ways. CNA Women interviewed several of these women to learn how they’re staying active, staying connected, and getting ready for what comes next.
Staying socially connected
The women say having a strong circle of friends and family is key. “I make sure to book a coffee catch‑up every week,” one said. “It keeps us plugged in and helps us share our stories.” They also lean on community groups and online forums to broaden their support network.
Focusing on fitness
Physical health is a priority. Pilates and strength‑training classes pulse through their routines. “I do Pilates twice a week and lift weights,” notes a 45‑year‑old. “It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling strong and preventing injuries as we age.”
Smart investing
Many think about their financial independence early. “I’ve set up a diversified portfolio that balances growth and security,” explained one. The women stress working with advisors, researching index funds, and considering real‑estate investment as part of a long‑term plan.
Exploring retirement living
With retirement on the horizon, options for living arrangements become a topic of conversation. “We’re looking at senior living communities that offer medical support but also social activities,” says a 52‑year‑old. She adds that finding a place with access to gyms, community gardens, and cultural activities matters to her quality of life.
These Singapore women show that being single in your forties or fifties doesn’t mean you’re left alone. By staying fit, staying connected, investing wisely, and exploring senior living options, they’re building a solid foundation for the next chapter of life.
