I own a home. My parents live 6000 miles away, my wife's family live 3 hours drive away. I have not have two pennies to rub together but I get on with life. We don't have social support.
I would love to see my family but the cheapest tickets are c£3500 so I Skype them. We get to see my wife's father every six weeks or so.
We live in FH because it is where we could afford. We are running out of space in our flat and in order to get a bigger property we will move out of London. I dont want to but this is what we have to do for a better quality of life. Do I want to? Not really. Will we need to? Yes. But we get on with it. Such is life. I dont moan about it. Where will that get me?
