I'd hate to be dependent upon my kids but that might be what it boils down to.

If I had known 20 years ago how things were going to play out in my life I would have (financially) done things differently. But....hindsight is always 20/20.

I'll keep living as frugally as I do now but there really isn't anywhere else I can trim my budget. I've already gotten rid of my car. I'm a coupon queen. I repurpose everything I can. What else can I do?

Like in all difficult situations....my faith plays a huge role and it will carry me through this, too. I'm not worried.
