My 37F boyfriend is 50M with no retirement savings

My 37F boyfriend 50M of 4 years tells me he doesn’t have a retirement fund and it worries me. He’s very involved in stock/crypto and the way he makes it sound is his investments haven’t paid off. I ask him why doesn’t he invest in something safer and he says he’s too old to now.

Me- I have a stable job making decent pay for my area (127k). I’ve shared with him how much I make and he says he makes a little above that. I’ve finally reached a point where I can save for retirement and reached 50k in my 401k.

I’m a SINK wanting to be a DINK. I live in a high cost of living city and the only way I’ll afford a house is if I purchase with someone else. My boyfriend is a great guy but doesn’t want to get married or ever live together.

Does he still have time to save for retirement or is he a lost cause? He’s an amazing boyfriend but am I a fool to stay with him?

Best place to meet single men?

I’m (37F) newish to the neighborhood. Where’s the best place to meet eligible bachelors? I’d prefer to meet someone out and about instead of the apps. But it seems like men here don’t really approach women in the wild- am I wrong?
