No, it's a totally fair point, Aisha. And clearly, having the ability to reinvent yourself might be a bit of a luxury that a lot of people can't afford. But also consider this, that there are lots of people, no matter their social economic status, that are really creative and resourceful.

For example, one academic who's written about reinvention later in life told me about a woman who cleaned hotel rooms for a living, but her passion was helping animals. So she changed careers late in life and went to work in an animal shelter, not to earn tons of money, but it brought her way more happiness in a sense that she was doing some good in the world.

And Aisha, there's another woman who I met who also found a new path despite limited resources. Can I tell you about her?

Okay, so her name is Natalie Jones. She grew up in Boston in the 1960s in a working class family, granddaughter of Italian immigrants. And she told me that from a very early age, there was zero expectation that she would go to college. It just wasn't part of the family conversation.

And in fact, when she was 12, the school she was going to asked her to choose whether she was business bound or college bound. And Natalie told me it was a choice that just left her completely dumbfounded.

But Natalie was also a bit of a rebel and a risk taker. And after high school, she takes off on a trip to Europe. She traveled to Spain. She met an Irishman with whom she fell in love. And eventually they returned to the Boston area, got married, had a couple of kids. But it turned into sort of a hard life for them. Money was tight. They both worked at low paying jobs, living paycheck to paycheck.

And after about 12 years, the marriage was in crisis. And then her husband dropped a bombshell.
