How far away are you from collecting Social Security? And can you live on that? I know you are somewhere around my age, although a bit younger. You need to get away from that place.
Didn't know he went back to it, unfortunately. Way too young for SS, unless I am declared disabled, and I have been looking into that, as my situation is ugly (according to everyone including the social workers helping at Chemo), and could go either way. Age, well I just had my 54th birthday, and if I go away from there, there goes my health insurance.
Company insurance on the vehicle came in today, I get paid tomorrow, then need to go hire a lawyer, as I am trying to get the house done and he's been claiming his lawyer has all the paperwork, but neither his lawyer or our banker (talks to the lawyer daily) know of any sales contract he has signed or the fact he has changed prices, often while blaming me for the sale not being done. (he doesn't face reality)
Friend just came back from seeing him, text said he is in BAD SHAPE, all caps.

Another friend of mine who wrenches where I used to wrench, thought he was having a bad time until he heard my story today. I could use some help (not a lot) and he needs a place to stay after his girlfriend am he split up, so I think he will be staying with me for a month or two to get first and last months rent while looking for his own place. He's been trying to get me to ask him for help, but I feel bad asking everybody. This could be a good thing for us both, change attitudes, help each other, etc.
