My remedy was going back to school.... a trade school can provide an outlet and an opportunity, and can be cost effective.
We’re going through it right now. Hubby forced to retire, my losing my job. The worst though, is getting used to being together 24 hrs a day. We are going to start doing some home renovations. It will only get worse or get better.
Sounds good to me. If you're young enough to still get hired in some field then some adult education or community college courses could do the trick.
Sigh, I wish I could go back to school...but no money!
