Jeez! Glad things are looking up though. Interesting bit abut the food part though. I guess most of us never really realize how well off we are.

Here’s an FYI as to why I paid cash for homes… First house, tax sale… $7,500, second home (total! I paid $100 to record it) $8,400 tax sale (I paid $100 to record it and tax stamps) and third house $2,600 TAX SALE… (I paid $50 in stamps and no record fee… city ate that) that’s the total price of $18,900 and I can paint the walls any color I want, have a quail N egg farm (which I do) etc.

One of the properties has lots of fallen black locust, four-five years worth on the heat FREE and I can bring it there by walking.

I was willing to settle for “dumps” in the sleepy towns two hours West of DC. As an online business, no one cares where the office is! I joined the local farmers markets and have friends giving us food all the time and exchanging quail meat for produce…

Buy your khaki’s USED at the thrift sales, yard sales and or Goodwill, that way the money goes back into the community and you make more friends along the way.

Paying rent is bull when you can live in a dumpy foreclosure/tax sale and fix it up at your leisure.

Cheers,

last i checked you were driving a nicer car than mine, not sure how i feel about that. and we are not christians… perhaps ask around at church?

good luck

but when that debt is over et que j’ai suffisamment de côté (= and that I’ve put enough in my emergency fund)
you’re welcome !!

@ MB – That isn’t on the table at the moment, no. It would not be a good move for me overall. Maybe financially yes, but in no other way.

Last time you discussed your housing situation, you mentioned that one of your options was moving in with your mom and then being able to pay her back faster. Is this still on the table?
