So the past 6 months have been extremely horribly stressful for myself and wife. This economy and system is not set up for self employed. Many years ago we signed up for college accounts for the girls. Big company with an even bigger company insuring that if for some reason they did not achieve advertised goals for when they go off to college the short fall would be made up. So the big co. bundles a bunch of accounts and sells them off....then they are sold again and eventually the accounts end up in company that had mainly invested in RIT's. Fucking real estate futures. So we get the collapse the college accounts disappear and the class action suit has been going on for 5 or 6 years now. And the insurance company collapses and get bailed out assholes.
So we decide to sell our house and downsize pay of debt and replenish the college accounts. Of course our house is in the worst price point and we end up getting rapped everyway possible. Deb has no more tears left, I internalize everything.
Bottom line we have sold our house. All contingencies removed now so we cruise to close on August 8th. We will have some money in the bank, no debts at all.......zero nada....nuttin......between Debbie and I we will be saving money every month which has not been the case for the last 5 years.
it is not a "new chapter"....it is a whole new book. At 62 years of age I am starting over, excited and looking forward to it.
