hi i have to change my thinking. i get too emotionally depressed because my family spends too much money. i become too stressed over making business decisions, so i can support them. why not just relax with this stuff...if i take a financial dive...why worry...i will have less stuff to worry about. if i imagine being broke, i could actually think of all sorts of wonderful things i could do...i could always scrounge up enough money for a computer or college courses...things i am interested in...i have enough extended family connections. or i am certain that i could find a relatively stress free job which might support me. i could spend more time with photography and exercising...hiking for example. i look back to my youth, when i had no money and i experienced a wonderful diverse life style. gotta work on re-programming my brain. bob
