I have located a wide variety of honest ideas about dog insurance and some poor recommendations. Do you have any more good recommendations or places on the Web that I can find more detailed information? This would be very much appreciated! So, keep up the good work!

However, I do think there IS a distinction between growing up poor -- and growing up with a parent/parents who beat you senseless or sexually abuse you. Those kinds of emotional scars often require therapy, and years to overcome. Being poor in itself is not a bad thing, so long as you have at least ONE loving, caring parent who doesn't abuse you physically. Just sayin...

We have been going through those fears ourselves just recently.

I mean, let's see, my mother was murdered when I was 1, lost hearing, having to depend on SSI in order to keep insurance so I can upgrade my cochlear implant (can anyone say thousands of dollars a year?) so I can keep what hearing I have left, etc. I can certainly say that my circumstances never hindered me from enjoying what life has to offer, but it is with a cautious eye I look upon our financial issues and I really needed this article!<br><br>Fantastic.

I grew up the same way.. Lived in the rolling home, and had a single mom. I have used "I got a raw deal" as an excuse so much, its getting old. I think you hit the nail right on the head.. "throw it away" get rid of it..<br>I mean, what I have accomplished in my life is amazing. I am doing well, I have a good job. I do not want for anything.. I don't know.. its weird how life does that to us. But I appreciate you sharing.. Ashley, thanks for sharing your life. I grew up the same way.. Lived in the rolling home, and had a single mom.

Love it and your no BS attitude! One thing I agree with from the bottom of my soul is yes "You determine the outcome of your life."
