Men have historically been viewed as providers, the breadwinners who bear financial responsibility. They lose their sense of purpose when they retire or experience financial difficulties. Relatives might isolate themselves, unable to reconcile the man they knew with the one who requires their support. As you grow accustomed to being forgotten and literally irrelevant, silence and solitude become your constant companions. I've seen that living at this stage may be really challenging, and there is little to no preparation for males in this stage of their lives. It does not have to be this way however. Prepare financially and psychologically so that you can make your later years more bearable and less painful.

I like the advice. For me looking back I realized that I was on the right track quite a few times. I just didn't find the right people to share my ideas with, and I quit too early. I was trying to prove everyone wrong by getting it done myself, yet I didn't make enough of the right friends. I got a few things right. I kept getting back into it for just long enough to see it bare fruit.
It is tough being a man, and it's taken some time to correct my thinking. Yet that's the path of a man right. We can't quit. It wouldn't be fair to the people I care about. Women get sympathy and love. Men want respect, and the last thing I want is to not payback the people who had my back when I needed it. Cause they were rare.
!LUV the message behind the post. I felt a bit of the frustration shared. It's what toughens us up to know, we have the next challenge.
Yeah true that's the essence of masculinity we're duty-bound on a number of issues.
In my opinion, I feel men suffer more than women. Men give a lot to be loved and appreciated. They are the only beings on earth that must give before they receive.
