Actually one of the happiest times of my life was when we lived in a teepee for 2 months. We camped in the neighbor's yard while we renovated the house we were moving into. I was busy all the time. We still had conveniences of using the toilet and shower whenever we felt like it since the neighbor left the house open for us. You just don't have the same worries when you're living day to day and not worrying about how you're going to pay bills. We went those two months rent free and mom didn't use a credit card. Only bill we had was for food and there was a citrus grove on the property and the owner of the property raised beefalo and gave the neighbor a freezer full of meat each time they came around for butchering. There was so much meat they were more than happy to share. It was awesome! I wish it took longer to get the house livable.

Now my parents are buying our own house in a different state and the stress put on dad to provide is almost unbearable for everyone around him. So I can see anxiety and depression being caused by that for sure. Or at least added onto it.
