Q&A From Our Experts
Today's Expert:
I have been divorced for about 7 yrs. which seems like 14 since the last 7-8 yrs. we live like 2 people sharing the same house. This was my 3rd marriage (1st husband died, 2nd 20 yrs. marriage and this last one 10yrs.), but one thing was different; I didn't feel "alone" after he left. Most of my life I have been a "Care Giver" taking care of others; grandparents, parents, brothers, elderly neighbors, terminally ill patients, and everyone else that needed help.......everyone but me! This is the first time I have concentrated on my needs and what I want out of life. I wish I knew some of this 30 years ago (I'm now 60). My question is: most of my family (children & grandgildren) and friends keep trying to set me up with men. I work 2 jobs and do not have time for a relationship with anyone. They think I need a man to take care of me in my old age??? I'm working 2 jobs so I will be debt free before I retire (my ex maxed out the charge cards before he left). For the most part I am happy with my life. But nothing I say seems to get through to them. It's not that I want to spend the rest of my life alone, but I have found that I am very picky about who I would want to spend the rest of my life with. Am I wrong for being so picky this late in life? For workng so much? Note: I should be debt free within 2 more years if I keep working 2 jobs.

Thank you for asking me to answer your question.
The short answer is you get to choose how you live your life. And you are to be applauded for taking full responsibility for your retirement and taking care of yourself by having two jobs and being almost debt free, instead of falling read more...
