My wife retires next month and the yearly income is going to be cut drastically so he is going to have to do something to find a job and a place to live as she is finally getting tired of supporting him.
Yep, it's a tough call. We are not to that point and we are at an inflection point... things could go one way or the other. The last year or so have been positive for him, and I'm hoping that by getting him back where he wants to be (the city, not our house), it can continue in a positive direction.
