71, all five kids are now gone. It goes fast so make sure one makes the moments count.
Had all these concerns that sometimes consumes one.
But with five kids and the short time one has them I am glad we focus on them. Had a lot of good memories with being a part of their life as they grew up. I prefer my wife bear foot and pregnant but at the same time there were times she had as many as five jobs at once to help put food on the table. It was important for me to have her at home taking on that job of a mother, wife ect. I know sometimes she feels she missed out on having that full time job and the rewards that come with it.
The bulk of our retirement was put together these last 6 years since the both of us start drawing SS and I continue to work and her part time. House got paid for and other debts paid off. Biggest thing now is that both of us need to quit working. Got a whole bunch of things to do including a bunch of grandkids.
To manage, set your short and long term goals with whoever, review them often and reset as needed. Keep the focus. Just make sure monies is not on top of the goals as that will come. Hope the health is fine.
Yes there never was enough time(even at 71) so make sure you put enough time aside for your top goals. db
