Here I am 47 yrs old with no 401k, making good money as a CNA Team Leader but would rather just clean up after dogs and do commercial cleaning, but knowing that won't pay the mortgage. I'm going through a mid-life crisis, according to my family doctor, because of my hormones as I'm starting menopause. I look back and say damned why didn't I go to school, learn a trade, do something?????? Why did we wait so long to buy the house?? Why didn't I stick with the job closer to home???? All this coulda, shoulda, woulda crap is what's on my mind right now. Oh and the grandkids and all their drama, and my stepson's pending divorce, blah, blah, blah. I just wanna run away to the islands for a few months!!!!
Anybody care to join me??????? LOL!:jeste r:

Haha! I will join you and your spouse to the islands. Y'all sound like fun people. Dancing and partying youth away. I did the same thing. I went to college in my late 20's so I have played catch up all this time.

Hang in there, you will get it all figured out. Take things one piece at a time. Definitely get a 401 or other retirement plan as soon as you can.
