Would you be a golddigger?

Being a golddigger was never in my personality.


In retrospect though, I do wish I'd have had the forsight to take into consideration all the things you need to do to secure your senior years, financially in this country. I ended up with an artist (photographer) and we (at our ages of 53 and 57) have next to nothing for security as we age. My savings that's left from both my parents dying is now at the pitiful amount of 13,000. You take into consideration if my car goes, the PC, or worse yet my health - there goes that tiny nest egg. I'm trying to add to it best I can, but it's a struggle and it's very scarey for me at times. You need to think about these things when you're young and plan for them. And here I thought my Mother was just being a pain in the ass. *sighs*

I do love him though, madly. So, won't be leaving him for a man that's got something more to offer in the way of financial stability. My life will be what it's meant to be from here on out I suspect.
