[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you care?[/quote] Not OP, but my MIL never worked. She became relatively inactive by age 55 and by 60 she couldn't walk three blocks. She has few friends and no interests. My FIL died more than a decade ago and it's painful to watch how unhappy my MIL is. I often wonder whether things would have been different had she worked. Maybe she wouldn't have been able to become so inactive and maybe her stamina would be such that she would be able to take trips with us. She got set in her ways and lives in the same place that she's lived for 50!years and is miserable because everyone moved away. I'm probably wrong to think that working would have made things different. But to me it seems that she lacks certain traits that I associate with working that would lead to a happy life. It really is painful to see her be so unhappy in her last years. [/quote]
