I wish you were .... (oh, you know), but okay (goosebumps) .. (Am I EZ?), you've taken my breath away, and my mind is on an afternoon road trip re: moving on!
Printing and keeping here, what my memory doesn't hold, my hands will.
The state poverty level here for a single person is $714 a month. My SSD is about $50 ABOVE and it throws me out of the ballpark 'w/o a frank'!
I'm concluding this will continue; state poverty level rises a bit, SSD a bit more, every year.
I'm trying to pin-point states where their poverty levels might be ABOVE my SSD.
So far, found list by state of % of peeps BELOW poverty level. (http://www.cbpp.org/2-24-05socsec.htm) D.C. looks to be most highly impoverished and Oregon least. What does that tell me? D.C. would be the choice; right or wrong .. can't connect the dots!? I just look at this and see Social Security providing medication instead of food! Wrong search parameters maybe? I'm using search words like, state & just above poverty level.
I posted a ? and rec'd an answer suggesting Minnesota and Wisconsin (burrr). The person didn't give me any figures.(I need a short 'mind rest' .. mountain time here.)
thankufriends, cf

Moving on, to me, is doing those core things within a different set of other stuff. What do I mean by other stuff? Well, different choices from the world around you. That could be people, places, or things. It's all up to you, budget considered.

> How does acceptance fit into this? Sometimes you just have to accept that you've "worn out" a set of people/places/things, and it's time to collect a different/new set. You have to accept the act of moving on, as a reasonable choice to make. The rest is just details.
