Since you feel that your life is not working out change it. First of all get a job. A job will lead to either a house or a wife or both. We all hit down cycles and it is up to the individual to rise above.
The good news it sounds like you have your health.
Good luck your life will turn around if you want it too.

You still have the rest of your life to live!! All of those things can be changed and once you stop concentrating on all the things that you "think" are hopeless and just learn to enjoy life one day at a time all the other pieces will fall in place. Have you ever heard the phrase "good things come to those who wait"? That special someone is lurking out there and is wondering where you are too!! Jobs are everywhere. You don't have to be a lawyer to be successful. There are plenty of jobs that don't require a college degree and still can be a very fruitful career. After you've gotten a job, a house can easily follow. Purchasing a home is actually a lot simpler than people think. Most of the time, people are just not brave enough to try it. But, I wouldn't even think about buyng a home at this point. Right now you just need to stay focused on getting a job that can pay your bills and support you. At this point it doesn't even have to be the best job. You will make your way thru life the way we all do. Nobody has all the answers and most of the time we kind of just happen to "fall" into what becomes our career, and accidentally bump into the person we end up marrying. The important thing is to learn how to enjoy your journey, wherever it may lead.

Yes. What is the alternative anyway? Life is not working because you are not working life. I am not saying that the reason that you do not have the things that you want are because you are not working. At least now you have stated 3 goals for yourself a job a house and marriage. Improving your financial stability will help. Make it your mission to find a job. Not today. Get yourself pumped up and tomorrow hit the pavement. now a days you can literally sit in your p.j.s and apply for jobs on- line. Send out resumes and file applications until you have to decide what job to take. Look for the home you want. Start visioning it. Keep yourself motivated. Get excited about the possibilities that are awaiting you. You have to bother to try. Congrats on the first day of your new life.

47 you know is not that old. My sister always told me that she once heard, you can be anything you want to be in 10 years. Even a doctor. So you might say, 10 years is a long time. But 10 years from now, you will be 57 either way...57 and in the same boat you are right now, or 57 and with a new career, new home, new family, new children, new you.
Take some time to decide and visualize where you want to be in 10 years. Then take some steps to get there. Don't worry, it's not a race, you don't have to have the perfect life tomorrow, but you just might have it 10 short years from now.
good luck

You might not like my answer, but I'm more of an optimist. I think I'm still a realist, too, though!
Try to take it one day at a time. I can't guarantee anything, but if you take a steadier approach without rushing into anything, I think maybe you might see things differently or perceive more opportunities for change.
For example, you can try to get a job. And then try to meet new people. And then save up for a house while you're working and building relationships.
Don't lose hope! I think you're being too hard on yourself. Maybe you don't believe me, but giving up just because it gets too hard just means that you want to take the easy way out. And MOST people don't fulfill their dreams by taking the easy way out.
If it's worth anything, I hardly know you, but I believe you can do it. After all, isn't that why you've asked this very question? To ask for help and try to improve your life? :)

Maybe you don't need all that?
I have no job AND I LOVE IT that way!
I am single and I LOVE IT that way!
I have a house... but who knows, if you like the city an apartment would work.
When I look back on the happy times and the not-so-happy times, curiously, the best times of all were when I was virtually penniless. So money isn't all that.

I would start with step one. Get a job. Then work your way up from there. You have a lot of life left to live. It takes one step at a time.

no don't give up and have faith in god and yourself. Things will change they always do like the seasons or people no one ever stays in one place for ever. you'll find work just in a slump right now. and as far as finding a partner maybe your meant to be a late bloomer or maybe god has other plans for you. Just hang in there and live one day at a time. don't get ahead of yourself and think to far ahead or you'll get depressed cause one never knows whats behind the next door. just keep your chin up and keep on pushing. and I hope things will get better for you soon.
