The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

I’m fifty years old, married almost 25 years, with four sons of various ages ranging from all grown up to still-working-on-it. ? For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support).

Needless to say, our relationship suffered, his health suffered and now he has a list of regrets about not being the father, husband, son, brother and friend he feels he should have been. Savings plus part time work could be enough if your ‘needs’ and ‘wants’ are held in check. What are the symptoms?

My degree is in mechanical engineering, but I’m just starting a transition to nursing – before I got pregnant with my son, I was working as a nursing assistant while my husband finished grad school, and planning to go on to nursing school. They had me, and then my mom decided to go back to school full-time and get a PhD.

Did you know that unless you get a masters degree you are likely to earn less than $65K a year for full time RN work? I’m a baby boomer aged person and I think that my sons are doing much better at this than their father did – but I suspect there is still a lot of room for improvement!
