I am now 56. Hubby 53. We have always worked from being 16. I had return to work when children were only a few months old, not through choice but necessity. Now in last 3 years things have changed. I was offered redundancy after 36 years and got a decent pay out. Father died so siblings and I had house money and I gave taken some money out my pension. We have more money now than ever had. So have started to travel more. Been to Budapest, Prague, Amsterdam, New York, Vegas, Spain twice, Croatia. Now a friend has said to me that she things I am being selfish and I should be looking after my children, which I do. She has really riled me. What do you think?
I am certainly NOT selfish and I think it's a totally stupid label placed on folk who can't help when they were born any more then any of us can. 'Selfish baby boomers' my aunt fanny !!!
