I completely agree. Lack of money and the fact that you are dependent on other people is what makes it impossible to make changes in your life. Most of us are in the same boat, we are a prisoner of our limitations. That is why even though it was the hardest thing I have ever done is move 125 miles to be close to our daughter. I did have help from my hubby but the packing, etc. fell on us. We did have help after we got to our destination but just thinking about it now makes me shutter. In many ways our society does not care about our elderly or people with mobility problems. When you have family, you have everything.
