LOL. Sounds like my girlfriend. I was the kid left over from the divorce. I was an only middle child or something like that.
Actually, my girlfriend has a lot to do with why I am trying to be more practical. I'm unhappy with the way I'm living. I work in a very strict, conformist atmosphere which doesn't use much of my abilities. I do it because I don't particularly like being broke. Whenever I've tried to change this situation, I end up trudging back to where I started: doing something I hate.
My girl is understanding and she would obviously like me to be happy, but she thinks that if I leave what I'm doing, we'll both pay for it. She said that she wants a plan before I go do anything else. And I told her that I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our financial situation.
The problem with the plan is that it's hard to make a successful life if you spend most of it in misery. At least it is for me. The other thing is that there is risk in any decision I make.
Anyway, there is some general background for you.
I looked at that lady's site. I'll have to check out her book. Looks like it would be helpful. Thanks.
