After many years, I make only a little more than unionized grocery store cashiers, and if I quit now, my pension would amount to $900.

Being laid off and not working led to depression and feeling like less of a man and she didn't understand.. since then she has became very insecure and very jealous.. i have to walk with my head down when we go to stores so she dont think im looking at other females.. and i have begged her to support me and start learning about investing with me but she wont.. i want a better life im tired of the life ive been living for the past 35 years and i know real estate can give me a better one.. has anyone else been in this position?

Probably so much that you'll be overwhelmed , but please remember that there's: Acquisitions (buying of Existing Self Storage Facilities); Development & Conversions (building a facility starting with dirt or converting an industrial warehouse or Big-Box Retail store into Self Storage);  Raising Capital; investing in a Syndication, & so forth.And there are plenty of folks here on Biggerpockets who have started forum topics, added posts, and greatly contributed by sharing their knowledge & experience. 

The original inherited 4 out 6 residents were older single ladies that lived at this property for 20yrs, 16, 6 & 3 yrs & living on fixed incomes like on social security. the other 2 inherited residents was a single lady in her 20's that managed a local convenience store & the other was a 50yrold couple that is a mechanic & i can't remember what she does for work.for the new residents. i was able to help one of the elderly single ladies get a local housing voucher so she could stay living at this apartment & afford a nice place to live.

Went to Smokey's about 2 and spent the next 2-3 hours walking the store and spending the 15K furniture allowance negotiated with the sellers of our cabin.

I've volunteered and worked my way up arduously since 2012 and have learned a lot helping run and manage this store with it's founder Brad and his mother Diane.

For furniture, following the closure of the last local store, I find RC Willey in Reno to be the go-to source. 

If he's buying $4500 bikes and taking Florida vacations, he can pay rent.

He buys paint at the bm store on 79.

One is a double  that I live in and the other is a commercial unit with a store underneath.
