AIBU to feel resentful about work, money and commuting in my 50s?

[Highnone]

I’m early 50’s and I am really starting to find my long commute and stressful job a lot harder than I did 5 years ago - I’m physically so exhausted most of the time.
This is compounded by not feeling the financial benefits I thought I would at this stage of my career. My children are finishing exams and I’d love to take them away for a few days as a treat. But there just isn’t the spare money to do this - everything costs so much!
How do I move on from feeling resentful and how can I keep going for another 10 years!

Feeling your pain!

I am mid-50’s & band 7, single parent, knackered.

just been through a bereavement (parent) & cannot see myself working beyond 60.

Do you have SCS status? If you’re in the 1995 section you can retire at 55.

I’m 59 caring for elderly parents (mum has Alzheimer’s) working full time, with a 80mile round commute to office. If it wasn’t for Covid bringing in hybrid working I would have had a breakdown by now - I am exhausted. Another 8 years will probably finish me off but I need my state pension as well as my work one to have enough to live off. At least I only have an office job, it must be horrendous doing a full on physical role til you are 67.
