[quote=Anonymous]Okay, since we are comparing - you can choose to read this one or not:  "when I was your age" (seriously, but sadly)....I was laid off, new to the area, newly without car or housing for the first time ever, could barely afford the metro, had about $10 a week for food; and no friends or romantic prospects - as all of my friends turned around and headed for home and their long term romances. I had just broken up with the love of my life to begin a new life here, which didn't happen as I planned.  Nowhere, nothing.  Lonely and hungry.  It sucked.

OP, NOTHING EVER turns out the way you plan.  Ever.  And that is okay.  It is how you look at it, that makes it work for you or not.  Seriously.  If you had told me 30 years ago what I know now, I would have never believed you.

Things really do turn out for the better.  But you have to reassess, and literally take it one day at a time.  Believe me when I say:  if you spend the days of your life looking at what others have, and what you do not - you will truly never, ever be happy.  Ever.  Know it.  Live it.

If my kids know nothing else, they WILL know this all important fact.  It will get them far.

Seriously, all you have to do is walk down the street or read this board, and you will know this.
