Hi, granny! Sorry you can’t do crafts anymore but I’ll bet you made some great stuff. It seems we’re always more critical of our own work. At least that’s how I am.
I read up to post #713 before answering you and must admit that I never gave much thought to what I’d do when my last dollar was gone. I’m not “pampered” by any means and know what it’s like to do without but not for a long period of time (say 1 year or more). The questions you posed are a real eye opener. I’m glad you posted them. Going to give them some strong consideration.
We had a leak in another house that took a loooong time to fix because they, too, couldn’t find the source. Then, BINGO, one day our handyman found it clear across the other side! Water goes wherever “it” wants to...not where “you” think it should.
Hope it gets fixed for you. Take care.
The questions you posed are a real eye opener.<<<
I found out how close living on the street could be when I got sick and had to quit work.
I sold the 80 acres at $50,000. less than I had turned down only 5 years before and managed to survive on that, until I got social security.
But it was rough going for awhile.
I can’t imagine going down that path with small kids.
True, I had this place rented, but what was I to do if I did loose the ranch?
Live in the car and eat on the rent money from here?
Maybe.
I was lucky and survived, but it was scary for a few months.
Never mind all the fancy skills, if one is not able to show up for work, you don’t hold a job for long.
