Ok. Here's the thing. The economy isn't turning around. The woman isn't coming back. Don't expect any external factors to change anytime soon.
With that in mind, start moving.
Don't allow yourself to be paralyzed in frustration or fear of the future.
You have options. You just don't know about them yet. Find them.
Without the additional responsibility or financial obligation of a fiance, you're free to do whatever you need to do.
Feel free to explore options you never, ever considered...
Can you possibly scrounge up the nerve to do odd jobs for friends in exchange for food? Do it.
Think it will help to sell your home and move into a camper shell on your broken-down truck, parked at a friends' place? Do it.
Want to join a church and offer work in exchange for their charity? Do it.
Want to donate your skills and time to Habitat for Humanity? Do it.
What about joining a commune? Do it.
Do you have the guts to be Amish? Do it.
Why not try to learn all the edible plants in your vicinity and live off those for a while?
Want to join a crowd of camping hippie-like homeless? Do it.
There are ways to live without money while being happy. The main thing is getting out of your comfort zone and trying your hardest to make things work, while keeping a positive attitude.
