[quote=Anonymous]In the same boat right now. One kid off to college, one a jr in HS, DH working long hours while we try to catch up on retirement funds and pay for college. DH is 8 years older than me and isn't very social like when we met decades ago. I agree with others who say it's a phase but I fear for the future because I will need 8 years of health insurance before I can access Medicare but would like to "retire" early to enjoy some retirement time with DH. There's no way I can afford ACA in its current form plus our kids may need access to our health insurance for another 8-10 years - which means DH will have to work as long as possible. This will most certainly impact finding friends. I really can't look for a full-time job until DK is out of HS and then face age discrimination. I work PT from home mostly although I have a few in office hours a week so pretty darn lonely.[/quote]
