Send me your addy, then this story will go: they found bill floating in a pool, prolly drank too much gin and not enuff joose. His wife sure looked happy with ther her new pool boy she bought with Bill's money. What was his name again, Strongbow, I thought i heard her say. THE END.
I've got one along a similar line, what do you do when you:
1. Have no money in the bank due to late in life divorces.
2. Your house ain't worth dick, thanks to the real estate market.
3. You have nothing much in IRA, 401K or Pension thanks to the market tanking.
4. Forget social security. That will come to about 20K a year. Mortgage won't be paid off for 20+ years. After taxes and mortgage there's NOTHING left.
Suicide anyone?
Actually, we're thinking of just getting out from under the house and finding a less expensive place to live that we like and working low stress 9-5 jobs. Doable without debt.
Frankly, I think retirement is sort of overrated unless you've got a few million put away comfortably and own your home outright.
Here I stand as a cautionary tale, my dears. If you find yourself in a shit marriage young, don't take your time to get out
No, neither of us were well off to begin with, he was slightly better off, if he had kept his house he would at least own it (couldn't afford to pay ex wife for it).

Late life divorces get really inconvenient, that's what makes them so frightening.
Trailer park home = $75k
Emotional happiness = Priceless
Depends on what kind of location you get.

Honey, I'm 45, my husband is 56.
Nope. Twin house, small back yard, detached garage, most of the houses are reasonably sized twins. I'm across the street from a nice park, about one mile from the elementary/middle/high schools, incredibly convenient to public transportation. And I told my ex husband, who insisted on this neighborhood, that buying here was a mistake. The area I wanted to move in is basically worth three times (and more) than it was then. He stuck me with the house in the divorce and there were extenuating circumstances that forced me to keep the house at that time. In the end, my ex managed what he couldn't during our marriage: He fucked me very good, one last time (honestly, it was about the only good fuck he ever managed, he had premature ejaculation problems).

So your entire family has prospered from the plundering of Mother Earth!!!!
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
For many people, that is a function of your personality as much as it is a function of your environment. If you dropped everything and stopped working now, you'd probably be suprised at how much stress you still feel -- you'd just be stressed over more trivial, day-to-day garbage.
But the good news is, you can practice de-stressing yourself immediately, even while you are working. Then you'd be better poised to truly reduce your stress when you retire.
Good luck!
so you're blaque
