Re: New husband, new problems

I can identify with what William is going through. I had all those thoughts following the divorce. Thankfully, I got over them. Up until that point I figured I could never afford to retire and would likely be found at my desk one day having assumed room temperature.
I did, of course, lose half my retirement in divorce as the ex was a SAHM but I've more than made up for it with savings and investments and will be retiring in a touch over three years, the dsay after I turn 64.
Tell William for me that it's never too late, children have a habit of getting on with their lives even if it does seem to take them an inordinately long time to mature and kicking himself about for a past he's powerless to go back and change makes no sense whatsoever. It's wasted energy, emotional and otherwise, that's better spent on looking and planning ahead.
I'd say William has done alright. He has you, doesn't he?
