Hi again. I have to laugh. My friend Gina Mcnew just wrote a blog post about the myriad of skincare and beauty products women use compared to men. And how it gets crazy as we get older. I laughed my butt off! I thought you ladies would enjothank you so much Lisa, that helps a lot. I know he tried to blame me for so much stuff, but like I told all of his family and mine none of that added up to a divorce. I do realize it's his needs, it just hurts so bad to think how many years he'sI used Noxzema from the time I was old enough to wash my own face, all through school and into adulthood. Then I decided it wasn't 'sophisticated' enough and went with higher priced, higher end products. About 5 years ago, I went back to 
If that happens to my mother, I’ll surely help out. She raised me and put me through college, and she’s planned her retirement out pretty well. I’m doing everything in my power to make sure this doesn’t happen to me. But if it does, here’s hoping I raised my daughter to be the gem this woman’s son and daughter-in-law are.
Hi there, as you said “ she’s planned” and that’s all anyone could ask! Most children would. This lady was working, long time, if she knew she would not have bought a home at this time. However, it was stated, mom did not spend her money wisely? She was not lazy, manipulating, just unwise about money. Since they both work (son n dnl), maybe she will care for the children, so they would not have to pay someone else, who knows. This is for us women to think about tomorrow, ,MY POINT!
I wanted to add somethings to this. Namely some women will not have the money, cause “mister” turned around and left, or was put out by right! More women live in poverty after divorce and training up children! I wish I had the answers but what I see on the horizon is not good. I can’t retire either. Just want to say and acknowledge that. :-/
I won’t have the money to retire …maybe ever and was divorced and brought up my two girls on my own. I think part of the answer might be in women helping each other.
I AGREE!…TRACK
Thanks for sharing this story. Nothing can substitute for family.
nobody speaks about a women in her sixties or fifties remarried, in spite of be a nanny, there are a lot of lonely man out there, that are looking for a mate, is not for asking for money, it is because she needs to have a nest, a new nest, where someone needs her and make her feel alive.
Hello, We are talking about retirement and taking care of ourselves or if we can not, the children step in most of the time. Are you prepareing for that future? saved money, papers in order, housing, ect. What you have here is a good subject line for a thread, start one! Go ahead….TRACK…:-)
