I had to leave my home in calif as the economy was killing me. So rather than lose it, I sold it and did fairly well, just before everything went into the tank...I have two single sons, and I invited them to live with me. I moved to Washington state where the oldest lived (he is now disabled) and took the youngest with me when I moved. We live together for economic reasons now, but at 77 I know time will come when i will be better off this way. We get into it sometimes, smile. but mostly we all do well. It is not always the best arrangement, but we are fine. You just cannot live on social security alone and this way we do just fine.
