You give up your career dreams to stay home and raise husbands and kids and end up mid 40's with no husband ( not always that bad) kids grown up and now you feel as lost as you where when you where in your early 20's -trying to figure what to do with your life.
Most of us- even at 20 'sold out' our fantasy lives for well paying careers, law- medicine =whatever, and never perused the real dream- actor, fashion designer, interior designer-- now here we are again!
Except now we are older, still wanting the dream, perhaps saddled with debt, mortgages, the fear of being old with no money- poverty was part of the 'fun' when we were young and starting out! Poverty does not seem so romantic at mid 40 - or the thought of poverty when we are 70!
Jumping off the boat- selling and moving to a hut in Mexico seems romantic now- running away like we would of done when we were 20- hitchhiking around the globe. But, back then we knew we would have to 'join society' at some point, come back and make our fortunes!
Now, some of us have our fortunes, are still 'empty', some of us middle class suffering the money woes after raising kids, and husbands, singles and struggling----
any ideas anyone out there?
