We have been offered insane amounts of money for our place lately.
We have a lot of land, a pond and a custom home. Not to mention a 1500 sq. ft. garage/workshop and 3 other out buildings.
The problem is, where the hell would I go????

No boat, back in the suds.

I suppose but Jeanne's whole family is here and I would have to fight her to leave. Maybe in a couple of years. |

Yep, someplace warm, where you can golf and fish year round, get twice the house for half the money, and pay a third of what you pay in property taxes.

My good friends and neighbor of 35 years, decided they could no longer maintain their beautiful home and moved to a retirement community...When I see them I can tell they have some regrets about that decision. In discussing our plans for the future, I told my wife that the only way I'm leaving the house i built by myself 43 years ago.... is in a hearse. |
