Every sovereign nation has a different name for the bills they print and coins they mint. Pesos. Dollars. Yuan. Yen. Euros. Baht. Shekels. Rubles. Rupees. There are numerous denominations, different faces and images, and various sizes and colors. Outside of their esthetic differences, they are all the same, just a means to trade for things that we need.
“I cannot wait to spend every weekend mowing this lawn and fixing things!”
Before hitting the road, we had the best living conditions of every person in the Seattle area. We lived in a 1 bedroom apartment on the top floor of a 1930’s era 20-unit apartment building near the University. We were a block from the farmer’s market, a block from a Safeway, a block from our garden patch, 4 blocks from a huge park and nature trail, 5 blocks from the library, 7 blocks from Trader Joe’s, and one block from the main business street and bus artery, where we had our choice of 50 different restaurants and easy bus access to anywhere in town.

The person guiding us opens one of the doors and shows us a 5’x5′ space, maybe 8 feet high. “This unit is $65 a month. We keep the temperature between 60 and 80 degrees year round. The security cameras, access codes, and on site manager ensure your items are secure.” As we enter the elevator to leave, we joke that the flashing lights make it feel like there is a radiation leak and we are descending into a bomb shelter. I think this is where stuff goes to die
