Ibby - do you like philosophy?
I like to think I follow an Epicurean ideal - which is NOT what a lot of people think it is.
I am living in genteel poverty but I am wealthy (in my own mind). I have a roof over my head, art to look at, decent food, a warm bed and friends who understand me.
that is my definition of wealthy.
Redefine your terms and you might be happier where you are at the given moment.
eta - UT's advice is right on, too.
