I’m somewhat dependent. My Mom owns my condo and I pay a reduced rent. Additionally, I receive disability payments which are clawed back when I am able to work, though I don’t make enough that they are clawed back completely. At times I am not well enough to live alone at my condo, so I live with my Dad and step-Mom for a few months. I do my own money management, though I have been late on payments before and made unwise purchases.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
