[quote=Anonymous]Heck no!

I wanted the Carrie Bradshaw lifestyle--except I wanted to design clothes or have a funky creative career in NYC.

Instead I got married young and had 2 lovely kids.  I have a great marriage of 21 years and 2 great kids. I do like my home and neighborhood.

Now, in my middle age years (42) I want a real career.  Except I do not know what to do.  I cannot afford more schooling, my husband has had recent bouts of unemployment (layoffs), our credit is shot, our finances are in the toilet. This instability started in 2003 after my father died (mom died in 2009).

I still feel too young to be without parental love, wisdom and guidance.  I often miss being able to call my mother for advice.  I often feel lost.  My job is just that.  I want a career and since my kids are older I really can focus more on work. I want to make changes but I find that I consistently make BAD CHOICES.  Everytime I chose to do something it ends up being a disaster. I now have analysis paralysis.[/quote]
