Three retirement related financial accounts and one joint owned rental house remain to be addressed. XW has done ZERO effort to work on the settlement terms. An irritant of sorts for the extra work on me. Though one I shrug off ... because ... I can get it done correctly myself.
Time to pay down the last two years debt and get started on those other projects!
