Quote: .....the house went on the market and we all know what the housing market is like right now....
But, the good news is, I can now afford the house I live in! Yahoo!! This has been my goal for the past several months. I got a huge raise @ work (like 40%) due to an out-of-town project. I am so happy.
Still can't afford the cabin, but I have renters there and I am talking to another potential renter that can pay more (to cover more of the mortgage).
I can breath a little bit easier now. I don't expect to get any more money from my wayward H. I am just sooo happy that I can afford the house!!! Of course, the raise is only temporary until the project is done, which will be 14 months down the road. But, right now I am celebrating.
This separation has been and continues to be a blessing in disguise. It has forced me to stretch and do things that I didn't have the desire to do before (or thought was out of my reach). Very nice.
