I lived about 19 years with depression, loneliness and hopelessness, but one day I'd had enough.
Being a mariner, not a financial wiz, I'd been advised by the professionals to invest in real estate, "It's a safe investment, you can't lose.". So, when I sold everything (in 2009) and walked away with about 10% on the dollar, I was a bit miffed! But it was enough to buy a small sailboat and set up a lifetime annuity.
Five and a half years later, I'm sailing the Caribbean with a wonderful lady and things couldn't be better. All the mistakes I've made and heartaches I've had, which seemed catastrophic at the time, led me to this point. I'd not change a single thing, if it changed this life I'm living now.
Hang in there folks; it does get better.
What is your life like at this point?
