“ Did you know that in 2014, women working full time in the United States typically were paid just 79 percent of what men were paid, a gap of 21 percent?” At the same time, we should have higher expectations from our sons on the home front. Why wouldn’t men want to spend more time with their kids?

We eventually alleviated the situation when I retrained for a high paying career and went to work full time (after those 10 years at home with the kids). If the job you do or the industry you are in is on the verge of collapse or if you have to watch every word and deed to avoid reprimand, it can be very stressful.

If you love every little detail of coordinating your kid’s birthday or your dad’s retirement party, start offering your Type-A services to partiers in your community or within your personal network.

I’m in my 60’s, I’ve been married to the love of my life for 44 years and we have two adult “kids.” We consider her our “bonus kid” and our family is extremely close. I learned to save money by watching my parents. (I I still remember saving my change as a kid so I could “shop” for books at yard sales.) Go figure.
