I eat a wholistic diet mainly and was wondering if that is an option at the mess halls.

Also, I have no affiliation to any insurance company, but am impressed with lemonade insurance - you should be able to get that quote online.  

This is not making lemonade from lemons.

Maybe there is way more potential in that diet than you are giving yourself credit for.

Hope you have extra folding chairs.We are on a special diet called Keto, so we can only eat healthy high fat foods, avocados, fresh farm eggs, grass fed beef etc. no carbs, nothing high in sugar like fruit, or anything processed.

Understand "why" you want real estate and write down your goalsNo TVNo radioNo social mediaNo games (except family stuff)Turn your car into a mobile university (podcasts, audio books)Get up earlyEat a simple diet (simplicity and mind-share)Keep a simple wardrobe (simplicity and mind-share)Give up social stuff for a year or twoSchedule specific time with your wife and kidsCut out spending that does not align with your goals (requires less income to cover)Tie your identity to growth (mindset)It's time to attack the day (every one of them).

I relish the idea of turning this lemon into lemonade, but I don't really know where to start or who to trust anymore.

A medical fact I know from the Army, no one is immune.Check your diet and cut back on drinking if you drink beer or booze.Take a sleep aid as prescribed and tapper off as you get use to sleeping better.You should really mention this to your doctor, there can be other issues you're not aware of.The older you get the less sleep required, I get 5 to 6 hours, I will also take an after lunch nap for just under an hour, but not always.

I could have still made lemonade with lemons, but I certainly would have sacrificed a full year and a half of cash-flow with the eviction process, in a major urban area that is not too landlord friendly.

I'm on an "Information Diet" as Tim Ferriss says via 4 Hour Work Week.
