My husband is 53. My husband’s job was doing building and remodeling. Self-employed at the time, he fell through a floor, falling 20 feet onto concrete. This left him permanently damaged over many parts of his body. He was off work for more than a year and I had to quit work to care for him. He is now able to do some minimal work, but we have depleted our savings and sold stocks and anything else that we could live without. Luckily, our home was already paid for, but we did take out a home-equity loan to help subsidize us through that tough time. Now that all of that is behind us, how can we get ahead again?
