If you’re finding it hard to find love after 50, it might be time to reinvent your love life. Once we reach midlife, it’s more difficult to meet eligible partners. Our friends rarely set us up, and if they do, it’s often a mismatch. At this stage of life, we have to either discover how to date successfully online or learn how to make romantic connections in real life. Both can be a challenge without proper guidance. No matter what your experience with love has been until now, it’s never too late to reinvent your love life, achieve love mastery, and go on your last first date. ►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio  ►If you’re feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application  ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate  ►Get Sandy’s books, Becoming a Woman of Value;

It’s important to talk about money when you’re dating, but it’s a scary or taboo topic for most people. I believe the best time to get on the same page financially is now, not in six months or a year. It doesn’t have to be so hard, especially when you separate out the emotions about money from the facts.  Understanding each other’s financial values and goals early on can help build a strong foundation for the future. It can also reveal any big red flags around debt or poor spending habits. That’s why I’m sharing 5 ways to talk about money early on to avoid problems in the future. ►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio  ►If you’re feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application  ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate  ►Get Sandy’s books, Becoming a Woman of Va
