Money is and has been a concern throughout my adult life. I spent a good chunk of it living w/mu parents sp didnt have rent et al but had bills, mostly store cards at times I had a tough time paying as I was making so little money.
I eventually ended up taking care of my elderly father who needed 24hr care and he was receiving a good pension but it had to cover the both of us since I hadn’t been able to find gainful employment after being laid off. Once he went into a nursing home the house was put in my name and with that came all the financial responsibility.His income, assets all went to the nursing home and I had nothing.
I started doing gig work but still struggled, driving my father’s old Accord which had a wealth of problems since I was driving so much. I ended up having to send it to the junkyard once I sold the house, which was the only way to be financially sound and pay all past due bills
So I had thr funds from the sale of the house for awhile , renting apartments and had my sister and nephew move in w/me who were also struggling.Living in the Boston area i couldn’t afford to buy, even with the funds from the sale.
We had some nice times, living in a bit of luxury for a bit, going out to eat a lot, Cape vacation, nothing too extravagant, id just say we lived mabe upper middle class. I bought a car , my first, pre owned.Bought a pre-owned Lexus after I totaled that one, I wanted to finally have a good, reliable car
Not to be the case with even this car. Just have no luck with them
Now funds are dwindling and I’ve been trying to get on Disability so Ill be able to have income and paying rent, bills .I never want to be on that situation again when I can’t and im forced to do gig jobs, theyre hard on the psyche…and car.
If I won the lottery Id buy a house, or two maybe one big enough to habe some friends live w/us
since I have some who are struggling finding a place to live, per the cost.Id start an animal sanctuary and do and be charitable and buy a
NEW car!!!
