But, as it stands, I have no one that relies upon me for housing or food, except my dog. And in that regard I count myself fortunate. Although, I will say, my motivation to get out and look for work and acquire worldly goods has become diminished since my fiance left me. She provided me with much of my motivation, she was worth working for, she was worth getting up in the morning and doing whatever I needed to make happy. But she's gone.
Xeryxs, while I can appreciate your no-holds-barred method of dispensing advice, I can assure you that I won't die a desolate man. Poor maybe, but certainly not desolate. There are too many people in my life who love me to ever be desolate. But maybe for you, being materially wealthy is the opposite of being desolate, in which case we just have a differing view on what true success is.
