Turned 65 today
Do not know how to feel, emotionally, about the privilege of this birthday.
I worked within the medical profession most of my career, so i am aware that every day is a blessing.
That said, as a woman, it’s a struggle, not only emotionally but mentally and physically.
Should I be happy?? Should I be sad?? Should I be hopeful? or just give not “up”, but give in???
Every day when I wake up it’s just a bit harder to get going. A few more aches and pains!! Things I gave no thought to a year ago seem like such a chore now.
On another level, is it time to give up on hopes and dreams?? Should I forge ahead despite my age?
There are still so many things I want to do and accomplish.
Due to the economy, just how expensive everything is,
I have focused lately on helping out my daughter. I’m helping her with her rent, investments, etc.
She is frugal, but it’s still a very expensive world out there and I’m trying to teach her to invest. However, you can’t invest if you don’t have the money.
I don’t have a lot of needs, I have pets, I don’t travel for that reason. Mortgage is paid. Car is paid. Investments aren’t bad.
Still, at 65, where do I go from here?? I’m considering this as a new start. Very much appreciate any advice!
