The tone in your previous posts comes across like you are judging, so you telling me that you are not judging and are just curious sort of falls flat. You assumed I was not working. But I will say that I live in a very expensive city and many people are complaining about the cost of living here. Also I have been making bankruptcy payments of $ 10,000 per year and have bad credit while making these payments so there is really no room. I also am devoted to my folks and like their company especially as seniors that are over or approaching 80. Both my dad and myself make some money I guess and I manage the accounts. There is less of a desire to want to move anywhere since I've put together a home theater system that includes a digital projector and 58 inch HDTV, which involved serious work around the home to set-up.Why do you not have your own place? Not judging, just curious.
But one thing is certain, I am not going to abandon my elderly parents and unless they have their own home and someone to look after them, it has to be this way.
