My journey..I spose' Adopted @4,shifty shifty siblings,raised away from them. On a dairy farm. Til I was 18. Graduation time I went into machine shops. Became a cnc set up operator for 30+ years. And have some pretty cool stories and experiences that formed the person I am today...

What would you do with the $25,000?

Use it for my retirement. Body has kinda given out,to a certain extent,( copd,PAD and few more all making walking and doing my career),so I've had to kinda retire early..so..I just do the Grandma role to a little girl,to a girl who is like my adopted daughter ( I never had any children..was told I was like my biological mom)
