I’m 56, and I don’t have any answers.

Any upward momentum at work stopped for me. I’m slowly descending into alcoholism and sloth. The more I do to maintain the household, the less that everyone else does.

There’s a reason that financially comfortable, socially stable, middle-aged men have a ridiculously high suicide rate.

The worst part - the VERY worst part - is that even after I retire, I don’t see any improvement. I’m going to be slaving away at an attempt to maintain a modest life until the day I die.
