RE: #SteemitZombies - hoMeless but never hoPeless
Damn do I get this. I grew up dirt floor poor in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas. Worked like a dog for everything I have ever got. Did some illegal shit to make ends meet. Worked 2 jobs while going to night school for auto mechanics and slept in my truck for some of it. I am finally getting close to being kind of ok but not comfortable by any means. Like you said one major medical emergency could clean my clock pretty easily. I have however taken out several life insurance policies on myself so that if I die my family will be good to go for the forsee able future. To be honest I don't see myself living to any where near old age so it was probably a wise investment. I always joke with my wife about hown I am worth way more dead than I am alive. I hope things turn around for you soon. I have always found country living is cheaper than in the city and prefer living away from people.
@doomsdaychassis damn sorry to hear about your struggles my friend but glad things are a little better than before. I know just what you mean about feeling worth more dead than alive lol I think about that a lot. Here is Mass if a parent dies the state sends a decent check every month and that has run through my mind quite often.
I agree country living is definitely much cheaper. I'm not in a major city but more like a suburb/town but if we could move out into the country I would love it. I have told my sister we should relocate our little family to some nice country area away from all the BS.
Thanks so much for checking out my post :) here's to hoping things change
Ah it don't bother me. It has made me a lot tougher person. I think that is more important than being a codled snowflake.
haha I totally agree. I wouldn't change my past one bit.. it's made me who I am today ;-)
