I'm 72 years old with an 11 year old dog and wanted to be a gypsy all my life. I have been suffering from depression for 17 years and I'm managing that and anxiety for god knows how long. I have no friends and no family to speak of. I hate where I'm living. I'm buying a house and have no equity and 8 weeping willow trees in my back yard which show I don't have any common since but my IQ is a little about average. There is no place I want to move to. I just want to get into my jeep and travel around the United States. My biggest fear is having anxiety attacks traveling. I have an income of $2,500 a month and I'm in no hurry to go from one place to another. Another big problem is I don't know how to make friends. I need a plan of attack and I'm not sure where to start?

human companionship seems to be the order of the day, not always easy but I would look for it

Based on what you wrote, I don't understand why you are buying the house! If all you want is to travel, and you hate where you live now, why not buy a nice RV and live in that? Or, what about leasing a condo/apartment that will have a lot of the maintenance/upkeep taken care of while you are traveling? It would be a lot easier to end a lease than to sell a house.

I bought a house because I have no common since. Buying an RV might just be a good idea but I need to get rid of this house first. If buying an RV the average person and me couldn't afford a condo or apartment and RV together. The point of my post is to see the country and not be tied down to a house, condo, or apartment.

Then you have your answer. Don't buy the house. Back out of it. Buy an RV instead. Can't help you with the common sense problem.
