[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking down the road...

Your oldest is getting married and at the wedding you're trying to distract the kiddo with iPad games.

Your grandchildren are infants and your older kids could use some help but your new set of kids are still youngish, living at home and need you to run carpool for their sports practice.

You'll be working longer than you anticipated, sayonara early retirement, because college is only getting more expensive every year and extracurricular activities are also $$$.

Will there still be family vacations? With which kids?

I always hear the same old "I'm X (old) age, but I feel like I did when I was 20s/30s/40s. from men." As someone that works with an elderly population, after 50 (which isn't even very old) your health can turn on a dime at any given time. Just like that. One fall, one cancer diagnosis, one heart condition that pops up. You don't bounce back like your youth, you can deteriorate quickly.

The fact that men never seem to think about these very realistic potential outcomes is so sadly pathetic.
