You are finding out the down side of living in many rural areas. There are not as many opportunities for jobs and careers. The trade off is that the quality of life is usually better. The cost of living is usually lower too. The real problem is that the USA is not a growing economy any longer. Way too many jobs and companies moved over seas. We make very few things here anymore. The average family is losing ground in the real standard of living game. My children will not be able to have my standard of living. At least not with the same job skills.

Back to your personal problems. You are helping your parents be able to have a better quality of life. Make sure that those away do what they can. If not then some balancing needs to be done. Your Parents are the ones to do that, not you.

I had to work several jobs and had a very thrifty wife at home but I don't think we would have made it in todays economy. Just look at the insurance cost we have today. When I first got married we did not have any kind of insurance. My oldest son cost less than $1000 for the entire hospital stay and delivery. The first house we owned the house insurance cost $75 per year, I now pay $2000 on the same house.

Every ones wants me to pay them but no one wants the pay me what it takes to make a living the days. If I did not have the things from the past investments helping I would be going backward too.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
