If there's one thing that I've learned in the twenty nine years that I've lived on earth is that life isn't fair. <br/><br/>But like you, I've just myself to take care of but I really hope that the U.S. is not headed toward a Depression. I would LOVE to be debt free like you but there are NO jobs where I live, we now have a mice problem and people live paycheck to paycheck.<br/><br/>As far as your boyfriend, thank God he's young. In Canada, you get free healthcare but here in the U.S., you have to pay for it and if the jobs are low-paying, then you don't get health-care.<br/><br/>I don't even have the gas to go out anymore. For me, if by luck, I get my hands on an extra $5, I consider myself rich. You're very very lucky NOT to have to live here. Used to be a time when I wouldn't have thought that but this country is headed toward the toilet.<br/><br/>Thanks for the advice, though!
