Poverty and wealth

I was fortunate to grow up in a nice town, work in Manhattan and live in a luxury building with a high paying job, and now im in Portugal in a nice place in a good community. I had a lot for stress about money when I went bankrupt, but I’ve never worried about buying things I needed. I guess I’m one of the exceptions.

My mother was blind and on welfare when raising me. It’s funny how we never had money for groceries, or clothes, or rent, but she always had booze and cigs, And weed. We used the Food Bank a lot. I would get toys for Christmas and they would usually wind up pawned by the end of January because, booze, smokes.

I’ve lived on puffed wheat with skim milk powder for a month straight.

So happy my daughter hasn’t experienced this.

How do you changed your country in schizophrenia. I found myself paranoia and intimidated by sense for not to migrate. I want to open my office or business but I don’t find Master Degree which is necessary in my profession. A lot of family pressure also in doing new business. Now I built my concept in my life and moving forward. My preference is to deposit equal amount of my salary in fixed by other resources till I am doing this service.

While some symptoms I have still prevent me from working, I’m ok to travel. My wife knows the language and basically did everything so I just had to tag along. Plus I. Like it much better here than in Manhattan.
