- My husband and I have been married for 40 years and had four kids.
- He's so hard working, and at one point he had three jobs to make ends meet.
- He's about to turn 68 and retire, and is terrified of the future.
Like many boomers, my husband and I have counted the days until retirement. Now that the time is quickly approaching, my husband is suddenly ambivalent about his future.
Since starting his first job when he was only 14, he was socially programmed during the 1970s to embrace the role of a financial provider.
