| 119. I was making multiple trips a year to Mayo Clinic/St.Mary's hospital |
|
in Rochester with a handicapped child..staying in a $6 motel room in January...for 5-6 weeks, while my husband stayed behind in Indiana so he could work (he visited on weekends).. This was accomplished on a less than $15K a year income..
The motel room was so cold, that the drippy faucet in the bathroom made a little ice skating rink in the sink..
I was a TOTAL "grownup" by the time I was 25... Of course I moved out on my own 5 months after I turned 18..
In the 60's & 70's "kids" did not live at home any longer than they had to..even if it meant sharing a crappy apartment with 3 or 4 people, and shopping at thrift stores & having a totally crappy (but paid for ) car..:)
