People could afford homes. Dad worked and Mom stayed home...what a difference.
My mom was a bank teller at the time making 75 bucks a week. Divorced, but could pay her mortgage and electric with 1 week's salary.
She was a drunkard and had a very bad taste in men. She lost this home and another she bought in 1970 which was 70 bucks a month.
I lived more than 50 places by the time I was 18,
It isn't nature or nurture, it's nature and nurture. I paid my first home off in 16 years, then went condo and only had a mortgage on that house. The 3 condos I lived in were all low end, but I paid cash. Now I'm a renter after selling out and building a home abroad.
So mom's financial difficulties made me just the opposite.
Bless you fren. I'm sorry your growing up was difficult but grateful you are stronger for it. ππ€
On the nature side of the equation, I love to sing. That comes from my DNA on my father's side. He was a very very bad person, but apparently was a great singer. They divorced when I was 4 and he came to visit with his new wife and baby when I was 6, in the house above. I don't remember him as a child.
I'll never be a great singer, I started singing as a senior hobby, but I sing Karaoke in Nashville and can get the crowd dancing or waving their cellphones sometime. Long term plan is to live winters in the Philippines and sing even if I don't make money at it. The young people have internet now and like young people music, but their old geezer husbands or boyfriends might appreciate old rock and roll and country. I sing some newer country like Kane Brown, and Luke Combs as well.
Good on you! Keep singing and enjoying life!

People manage circumstances in one of two ways...
...some allow themselves to be beaten down by them.
Others, chose to use the circumstance as a springboard to achieve life's goals.
...I have a good idea of what your decision was...
...carry on Patriot...
Yeah, thanks, most people that had my Charles Dickens' character childhood turned libtard. Even though I don't go to Church these days, God has saved me from many circumstances.
