Now that is
exactly something that I might have done if I were able - although I would probably have just purchased $35K on lottery picks (I don’t have the energy to scratch-off scratch-offs).
You’re right - I should allow others to help me in get my finances under control. I haven’t a spouse or an SO who I believe would be willing to help, though, AND I don’t trust others AND relinquishing control over such an essential part of standard living feels like defeat.
Yet I know that what you suggest is best. I’m going to see my new shrink. Talk to her.
