I have worked since i was 16, from age 18 to 40 I worked 2 jobs. I have been married for 30 years, raised 4 kids. am now 47 and quite frankly I am exhausted. I did manage college with 3 smalll children and 2 jobs. My husband is turning 50 and complains he needs to cut back at work, "getting too old to work 50 hours per week. i work 60 because I am in management. We don't have lavish items such as boats, jewlery, or vacations, last vacation was 8 years ago (a weekend camping trip). We eat out 3-4 times / month, cook mealse from scratch, don't drink, smoke or gamble. We have little to no savings, and live in a small house, about 1,000 square feet and have 10 years left on our 30 year mortgage. No retirement savings.and are in age group being punished by social security, but have paid over $200,000.00 into social security. & no financial help for kids college.
