    I need more than to just keep working the problem. I’m middle aged and living with family again, I’ve always been poor even though I excel at all my jobs and I have a degree. And there’s no such thing as a “conclusion,” except death, so what I’m working at is stable ongoing engagement in an arena where I can maintain that engagement. Still trying to think what that can look like. Thanks for the encouragement.

      I have reached something of a conclusion there myself - we haven’t done anything wrong. It’s systemic, “they” never had any intention of allowing us to work our way to a good life. It was always going to be just enough to keep you alive and most importantly hungry. There are more people in this situation than we think.
