I have never had the desire to not be frum. But were I to contemplate it, I would probably have been a singer in those days when I could still sing well. I have no regrets about my life. I always wanted to be a wife and mother, and then B”EH a grandmother, and those goals were more than met happily. Having a little money to spend would have been nice, but I don’t view my life as lacking just because I never really had much in the way of material wealth. Being “sameach b’chelko” doesn’t just refer to money. (I do wish I could have afforded to go to E”Y when it was physically easier for me to do so).
