Yes, it does seem the wrong end of life to be living like this. I've worked for 30 years--I shouldn't be this poor. But I should've been more selfish; gotten another degree instead of helping out 2 husbands establish their careers. What I did for love, for my family. I need to raise D to be a little more high-maintenance than I have been.
