husband and I had 2 boys of our own who are now graduated from high school, but still living with us.

My husband is retired from DaimlerChrysler, after having worked there for 40 yrs. Now we think like a couple of old fogies, worrying about money and insurance benefits, and whether there will be enough of either.
