So, just checking to see if others on here have had the same experience I'm having. I'm tired of the "race". Even before my wife passed away a few weeks ago, I started noticing that I was really tired of going to work, paying the bills and just basically treading water. Don't get me wrong, I know that I am lucky to have my health, some nice things and live in the greatest country in the world. But I'm tired of it all. I've thought seriously about chucking it all and just taking the bike and bumming around the country, kinda like the old movie "Bronson". (Pure fantasy and wouldn't work anyways?) But first, I had to take care of my sickly wife, which I have done for five years. And now, my mother is failing (early dementia), so I am spending a lot of time taking care of her situation. I am just feeling trapped in a never ending cycle of working, paying the taxes, paying the bills and taking care of my responsibilities. And again, I am fully aware that many people have it much worse. Still, even though it's TOTALLY impractible, I want to chuck it all and do something different. Another state, another situation, another country, SOMETHING. Any of my friends on here ever been here? Any advice or insight welcomed. Thanks.
