But it's still scary, isn't it, to make a big life change so far along when you're really set in your ways.

I mean, it sounds like she was extremely successful.

Okay, so tell me more about this project.

Yeah, let's hear it.

It really seems like she has achieved that and that this project really is making the world a little bit richer.

We're back with Anthony Brooks of WBUR in Boston.

His series, Third Act, looks at how Americans are reinventing themselves in their older years.

So, Anthony, I love this idea that like as our life expectancy increases, people are seeing the end of middle age as a kind of beginning.

But it does feel like that may be easier done if you have the financial means.

If you are living paycheck to paycheck, is it really realistic to say, let me reinvent myself and do some good in the world?

Oh, yeah.

Being in that situation and now she got to take care of two kids and no college degree.

That is a very difficult situation to be in.
