I'm happy for you that you at least have someone. I mean I'm definitely not ready for any kind of relationship but I don't even know how I can be in 5 years before I'm 40, I'm not going to be able to accrue a lot of wealth. This is a huge rebuilding project I'm going to have to go through. I'm going to be at least that age before I can even think about a relationship, and at that point kids are likely out of the question.
I just don't know how I screwed it all up so badly.

If you don't mind my asking, did you wind up with accrued debts on something regrettable? I live in one of the more unaffordable states in the nation. Granted wages are up there to offset cost of living, but sure it's cheaper elsewhere but wages don't meet the wages here.
Can you offset housing costs with a roommate? Where else can you adjust your expenses?
What happened with the last job? Why the nagging desire to skip out on a new job that could have sustainable wage increases?
