With Cheryl and the boys secured in their new home, this middle-aged man answered my “moving sale” ad I posted online. He walks in and offers me $350 for the computer and software, take it or leave it. His gesture was completely emotionless and I was knocked off my pedestal of power and was at the mercy of this stranger. I took his cash and watched him leave with the computer. The house was now empty with only a few extension cords on the floor, half empty boxes lining the wall and sand blowing in through the open patio door. I slowly walked among the empty ruins of what was once a dream come true and a promising life. Except for the cash I had in my pocket, all my money was gone, my credit was ruined and having lived five decades, I was able to pack my entire life’s possessions into only two suitcases. It was time to leave. 20
Failure in America As unique as I thought my situation was, I had become part of a growing trend of failure in America. Take my failed marriage as an example. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, divorce rates saw a slight increase in 2016. As of this writing, 42% of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce. Almost half of those divorces happen in the first 10 years of marriage, and the rate is especially high between the fourth and eighth anniversary. The average age at divorce is 45 for men and 42 for women. 21
