At age 56, I feel very healthy and energetic.  I'm in a manager role at a large corporation, and I have enjoyed being in this mommy-track type job for the past 20 years.  It's been very family-friends, thanks to a wonderful boss who is himself in his late 60's and who insists on doing any evening or weekend work because he knows that the middle-aged moms that work under him need to be with their kids.  I've got it pretty good:  I make $300K per year, have a really nice office, and work with really good co-workers.

Once I become an empty nester next year, I might even try for a promotion within my company, or move to another company in my industry.  When I got head-hunter calls over the years, I always turned them down because I did not want to disrupt my mommy-track job.  Now I'm available and up for the challenge.

I like my career, and therefore hope to work for another 10 years, and then perhaps open my own business.

I like the challenge of working, and I also like making money.  My DH and I are trying to save up to give each of our 3 kids nice down payments for their eventual home purchases. [/quote]
