Incase you are wondering the saga does continue. My mother’s husband has been accused of committing a serious crime. He is gone out of her house and my mom does not want him to come back.

No one else in my family’s homes is an appropriate place for her to want to live in. Guess who stepped up and offered to live with her to help her with her expenses.

This new event for one means that I cannot have my privacy. When I live, alone it does not matter how I feel. When you are around people and feel depressed, you have to put on a happy face.

The other part is that the two accounts I was going to pay off. These two accounts would have given me a savings of $235 a month. I was going to use this cash to save for my own cab.

This would result in a savings of $5000 a year on the rent I pay for cab today. In addition, I was going to collaborate with a night driver. This would generate another $5000 in revenue.

I had convinced my self that it is okay that I did not get a job in what I studied in college as long as I could generate the same income as a job in what I studied at the university. Well that plan is out the door.

Oh, and the cab broke down today again.

The strange thing is that I do not mind much. I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to read another book again as long as I live; especially a college text book.

Therefore, the new plan is to just work many hours in the cab and try to generate a $2000 a month economy. In addition, I am going to try an invest 200 a month in a 5 percent a year account for 20 years. According to a financial calculator, this will generate $45,000.

Another real problem is the loneliness. Two years ago, I was supposed to marry a woman. During this time I was struggling with my depression and the miserable job, I had at Region 19.

When I returned to the taxi, this girl stopped talking to me. She never returned my phone calls. Every time I called, I got the cell phone answering machine. In addition, there was no other communication like emails.

Since then, I have not really thought of romance. Moreover, I do not want to be around any one much less a nagging woman.

However, I cannot surpass this annoying frustration with extreme depression from not having some one to share my life with today.

Sounds to me like you need to first find contentment in who YOU are.

My brother and my mom recently did something similar (sharing a place). It was definitely a challenge for both of them. So I can somewhat relate.

I suggest you get things sorted out in your life before persueing a relationship.

I hope that helps.
