    Hi Steph,

    It’s ok to feel that way. I was brought up pretty poor too. When I was sent to the Rez in South Dakota to live, there wasn’t room for me yet so I had to sleep in a barn on some hay. This went on for about 3 months. When Mrs. Whitehorse made room for me, the floor in the entire house was dirt, but they did have a huge rug, Tatanka, (Buffalo). They gave me so much special love it was unreal. Today I am doing quite well but still feel a little uncomfortable with this lifestyle at times. I don’t hang out with the hip, I don’t buy fancy things, or fancy cars, nor do I flaunt my money around mainly because I don’t like to be highlighted. I just live very a very simple, unassuming lifestyle. I don’t know what to say Steph except that I hope that what I told you helps.

    Dear Steph:

    I think that the reason for your current dissatisfaction is in your first sentence: “I grew up very poor and as a child was always told to study and work hard in order to be successful and happy”-

    It is very common for parents who are financially wanting, dissatisfied, to teach their children that wealth is The Way. They don’t teach any other way.

    You learned by your very experience that the ability to make good enough money is not The Way. And so, it is time to find ways not looked at before.

    Keep doing what you are doing now, the job, and look elsewhere, then, will you? Where do you think you can possibly find satisfaction?
