New Year....New Plan???

A bit homesick, even though I know my friends and family are literally FREEZING up there in NY! It is cold here today too ... only 37 degrees, which it hasn't been in years!
Anyway ... I like it here, but the lower taxes and the nicer weather doesn't make up for all the sacrifices in services I have encountered. I am not qualified here for any health insurance or medications, even though I am in NY. I am also not qualified for unemployment insurance either. Jacob took a large cut in SSI benefits and his medications are also not covered for him here. He will have to wait more than a year before even, possibly, being able to be placed in any job here!
So... have been looking at property back in NY and thinking of buying a double to share with Michele. We can help each other out and both benefit from it!
Haven't made a real decision on it yet, and would probably HAVE to sell my place here in Myrtle Beach (lucky I got a good deal on it)...we'll see.
