I was cleaning out an old email account. I found emails from this board... and decided to come back!
My life is not what I want it to be. I currently live in an area with a very high cost of living. I am not happy where I currently reside and cannot afford a market value apartment. I don't want to move into an even worse living situation. I am considering vanlife, but will need to downsize quite a bit. Actually, I think downsizing is the best path for me to make any improvement in my life.
I have not owned a car for over a decade. I have recently taken some driving lessons, but have not actually done any car shopping. I am much less active since the pandemic curtailed my activities.
Also, I used to want to travel, and I don't see how I could afford to travel and still keep a "home base."
In the past, the anonymity of this board allowed me to really air out my thoughts and I am hoping to achieve that kind of space. Often I don't know what I am thinking or feeling until it tumbles out.

Hello gifted and Welcome Back! Whether you stay where you are, move or take up van life, decluttering and pairing down your stuff is a great choice that you can work on now. Good luck! |

Welcome back gifted! This is a place you can post about whatever thoughts you have. Share whatever you want to, and maybe you can get some suggestions that might work for you.

Hi Gifted! I've been checking in a bit here lately and saw your post here. I'm in the SooS Chatzy room trying to get some stuff done today and saw you had been there! Please come back if you see this! Good to see you!

Welcome back! I was away for a long time, too. This is a great forum with wonderfully supportive members and, when I started posting again, it felt like I came home.
