Safety in a Failing Economy

uniquetobeme · 01-28-2012, 06:50 PM

I'm waiting for my son to graduate. Unfortunately, the last 5 years have been crazy in my world and my sons had to change schools 4 times. (I went through a really bad breakup in 2009 that really impacted our lives) so I don't want to move him another time.
The other issue is my 14 year has some medical problems that need to be resolved before I move and I found out he has to have 2 more surgeries :-(.
I am also thinking about going back to school to be a social worker.
I am giving it serious consideration, but I can't move just yet. My eldest son's boyfriend (he is 18) lives with us and he also has another year until he graduates.
I'm certainly keeping the idea in my head as a possibility. I wish I had a crystal ball to see what the best choices were, but I guess that would take the fun out of life. :-).
I would like to know more about some of the struggles people have had setting up a farm, and also about issues such as health insurance and things like that.
I was thinking, if I got a degree in Education, I could work at a school in the area and do farming in the summer.
Life is so full of complicated decisions. I know I long for a more simple life :-)
Thank you all for your support and advice :-)
