Hi Rodney, I share that same sense of insecurity, My medications cost a bundle and we could drop into true poverty. I certainly empathize with your situation. But getting off the wheel was sure liberating. I don't want to give the impression that we have achieved some ultimate suburban white flight, and indeed I am concerned every day about the horrible social darwinism gripping our country and our suicidal foriegn policy. The spare time I now have does afford me the time to be a political activist and try to help socially working at a kitchen for the homeless and hungry etc. I moved to a very small working poor community and am proud to live here. Every day I see people helping one another in ways I never would have imagined in my former yuppie enclaves. I'm also no candidate for a Mother Teresa award but I do like being part of a very real community. The isolation of living to aquire goods and position blinded me to that opportunity before.
La Petite Moi (very sweet handle),
Go for it whatever it is!! At 18 I didn't even have the intelligence to ask the question and I see from your posts a keen intellect, that with a good heart will take you far.
