I started over at 54.....but all alone after leaving a 33 year bad marriage after my mom died & I sold her home. I had enough money to buy a small farm 2100 miles away in a small town where I didn't know anyone. Best move I even made 18 years ago. Have never been happier.

Related topic.....beware of selling to an investor. They want to give you nothing for your home. My ex did that with "our home" just before it was to be auctioned in foreclosure. Idiot managed to sell it "subject to" the loan which left us with the loan but not any ownership of the house. Personal experience, you are better off selling it "by owner" or through a RE in the "as is" condition, you will most probably get more & not get suckered into a scam situation like the "investors for cash" like to do. I used a RE & sold my mom's house "as is" & it was amazing.

Selling the house would probably be the starting place & while in that process do the job hunting & hopefully it will come together. Sometimes starting over is good.....but doesn't guarantee anything cause sometimes the old baggage that is brought along blocks a true starting over. Just something to be aware of along the way.

Wish you the best in your future
