Rhapsody,

It's hard to remember everyone's stories.

My husband is eight years older than I am, and I don't think he's been listening to the news really well. You know the part about where a lot of people can't afford to retire at age 65. He reached 65 last year, and decided he could just stop working, without consulting me, who has been the financial manager for the life of our marriage.

He has had some depression, but refuses to tell his doctor so he could get medication. What's a girl to do?

He has also continued to spend money this last year that we really didn't have. Fortunately or unfortunately, I have more understanding regarding his psychological issues than the average woman, or would have been gone by now.

Hugs,

EJ
