Unlike most here I've been caught in the current unemployment wave and only look in here every few days or so when I can. No retirement checks, trust funds, cheesy lawsuit awards, returns from wise investments, indulgences in criminality or dependence on family. Just me, so I've got to stay focused rather than be crushed by the the awesomeness of some old fellow's resume'. And that was awesome.

Don't fret or worry.....while I had a small family trust from my father divided amongst three...it certainly wasn't enough to live on...but a possible boost to move to reach higher.

One sibling did reach higher, two did not.

I intend to leave an inheritance. Do you not also wish that you can/will do the same?

No lawsuit awards here....nor criminality or family dependence. I have had investment success though....but have lost money with the best also.

Why would you think that "most here" are not like you? And why would you allude to these "most" having some sort of advantage over you?

While I wouldn't dwell on "some old fellows" as you say...resume. It was/is rather substantial, wouldn't you say?

I would think you owed him an apology.

Maybe that would help you along in your awareness of others...and your anger management?

BTW...I am not attempting to be sarcastic...or anything like that. Although...I certainly CAN be. Ha!!

I'm just trying to be real.......

FWIW-

I fret and worry as to sleep about three hours a night between nightmares. I’ve ALWAYS sustained myself and having that knocked out from under me has been a blow to self-esteem, confidence and faith. This will pass.

My sympathies for your siblings not doing so well. I could use the moral support of a family and would welcome worrying about their troubles over my own. Count your blessings. Unmarried by 46 (47 as of Monday) doesn’t mean I don’t keep trying. I didn’t answer Hidalgo’s insinuations of homosexuality because this hetero considered that as base and insulting as he got miffed about the rest of the world not considering everything past classical music as passe’.

Yes, he’s an awesome guy, an honorable veteran of the Korean War, a venerable scholar and productive member of society. I bowed and acknowledged yet he still chose to heap more snide insults. While I may owe him an apology it remains to be seen if he can get off his high horse and extend a hand rather than looking down his nose.

I’d regret not learning from a person who’s character cries out that it has so much to teach...if he meant that.
