Very true. I know plenty of older women who are pretty happy with how both their families and their jobs have turned out.
You also don't have to be alone in late middle age, even if you haven't married and had children. You can have friends or a close relationship with family members. You can even get married in your 60s or older.

And failing that, there are always cats!
