I remember as a 19 year old the longing just to get out of my parents house, to live on my own...so i moved in with my sister?! Then i got married and remember how excited i was to be looking for a place of our own to rent while waiting for base housing. I remember crying that first night in our little single wide mobile home...i was so scared of the cock roaches! (we did not have those up north!) the trailer must have been 50 years old, nothing worked, i covered everything with blankets, rugs, place mats...just so i didnt have to touch anything...after Jim got out of the military, we bought my sister in laws trailer in middleburg. It was a short double wide but i cleaned it and made it my own (for 6mo) then i made my husband buy me a new one! All was right in the world. My husband worked at wal-mart full time and went to college full time to get his bachelors degree in computers while i worked as a dental assistant. And thankfully we had his Mom that watched our children so we did not have to pay for childcare. I remember just thinking how much i wanted a house, my parents never owned a house??? I wanted a house and we worked really hard and in 2003 had our first house built! Its not large, its not fancy but its our home...its where we raised our children. We have lived here almost 11 years now and yes things need to be done, yes i wish i could just throw out some money and get new floors or re-do my bathroom but these are all things that i continue to work for and eventually i will have them...I say all this because in life we cant all be rich-we cant all be poor-we cant all be healthy-we cant all be sick. We are all brought into this world the same way and once we get to the age of accountability its up to us to decide what we are going to do in this life. You are not handed a million dollars you have to work for it! I am not rich but i am not poor and my husband and i work very hard for what we have and you should be too!!! Be proud of who you are, what you have done! If your not than you are the only person who can do anything about it! You can not find happiness in a pill, a drink or a puff of something...it comes from within. Shame on you for being jealous, or envious! They worked harder than you to get what they have!!! You want it...GO WORK FOR IT! If not than stop complaining its a real downer...
