Her ex left without any support for kids and I paid dearly to support mine. We both lost our savings and were plunged into a financial hole. As a result it took years to dig out of the financial hole from 5 kids and a government that takes more money each year than our entire net worth. We have been making great progress more recently. My wife has enough retirement income for herself. I’m not at that point yet and just seem to be burnt out. I’m looking at retirement numbers EVERY day. I’m trying to motivate myself to keep going but for some reason I feel like I’m done and the finish line really isn’t that far away. I’m sure I’ll drag myself across the finish line and make it to retirement.
lol maybe I should be laying on a couch and paying hourly to vent my frustrations. ������

It sounds like you do not have a financial person-advisor to talk to about this? As others have said try to enjoy your retirement when you do get there while you can. As my advisor says, you will be able to enjoy a more active retirement at age 60 than when your 80.
