Well, after much thought it's for sale

No not my bike, are you insane? I would never part with that! My wife and I have decided its time to downsize. The house and lot are taking more time that we want them to. Spoke to a real estate agent yesterday. If we can get what we want - and the agent thinks we can, we can downsize and walk away mortgage free. This will let me retire in about 8 years instead of 10-12 from now.

 

The market is still very good in the town we live in and we are in a small subdivision that has a lot of interest so maybe this will happen quickly, but if not, no big deal since we are not under any financial pressure to sell, just time for a lifestyle change. We love the house, it was our dream home and and I do not regret building it at all. If we get what we want, it will have been a fantastic investment with the return we expect.

Good for you, I hope things work out to your satisfaction.

 

Due to medical discharge I have had to retire earlier then planned. Since then I have downsized and all I can say at this point is that “simplicity is underrated”!

 

Best of luck!

Good luck with the downsize. Hope it all works out for you.

Good luck. We have a little over 5 years left on our mortgage and our 2 bedroom house is free and clear. We downsized and it makes life easier and tougher at the same time. Easier to keep clean, tougher because you can't find peace when you need it. LOL not talking about the wife, but this darn ZOO we live in. (Krome Rose works in a pet store, nothing more needs to be said on that one) Just ask the Muffins they know, we charge them .50 to enter the zoo when they come over.
