Two income family up until 2015, husband retired early in 2015 following a stroke caused in surgery. He’s 99.9999 % recovered, but I convinced him that no job was worth the stress and potentially his life. Fortunately As a younger woman I decided, “I think being an engineer might be cool” and I ended up in an interesting and lucrative career.

Thanks,a most impressive retirement fund.

I also had a stroke 4 years ago-——it STUNNED me,because I never expected such a thing. I’m doing fine,as is your husband.

In so short a time? From being a - what? - housewife, or at best a woman with, e.g., a B.A. in English from the 1990s, you were able to re-train and obtain a lucrative position as an engineer in so short a time?

Amazing!

Regards,
