I wonder if I could try to sell my life? I could try to pay off some of these medical bills. The only thing that I couldn't include are my kids. They stay with me! lol

Sadly, that's about what it's worth too. Without the kids that is. One is 14, one is 12.....so not working age yet. But thanks for the offer!!

Is the amount tax free, wonder were it could be spent with all these high prices, maybe it'll be better that I just give it away.
