Unfortunately though, society pounds college and retirement into our heads and we're not able to live freely until we retire, and even then a lot of retired people don't have enough in their retirement to have fun and their families put them in assisted living. I wouldn't mind living day-to-day with the person I love off of the money we earn from selling our art and skills until we have stable jobs with pay that is a little more than minimum wage. Of course it would mostly be a seasonal thing unless we were to stay in the south for winter. I've talked to him about it and he's not interested at all. I had a feeling he would react that way. He isn't really the adventurous type and that worries me, because I'm going to try my hardest to be able to do this and when the time comes, he isn't going to be happy about it because he will feel like he's strapped down to where he is. He uses his family as an excuse not to move out of the area, but his family will always be here to return to.
