You'd think I would have good skills, wouldn't you? But my occupation was kind of specific to the place that I worked and I'm 61 now, not a lot of people want to hire someone my age. I think it's a bit too late for me to start over...I'm looking forward to finishing up.

Even at my former position, I didn't make enough to live independantly as rents/cost of living is outrageous in this area.
I'd really like to stay here and I came to the forum hoping to learn some coping skills. I've never been good at cutting and running.
I'm between a rock and another rock. Gotta learn to cope.
