Seriously - offered a pretty serious amount for the parents old homestead and haven’t accepted the offer yet.
Wife of course wants me to take the money…I mean - not “life changing” money to me…but would make it a hell of a lot nicer with no mortgage payment every month (or any other debt for that matter) - 2 incomes and a nest egg for retirement.
Don’t know why I just can’t walk away - sentiment I guess. Grew up there - been in family forever it seems like.
One minute I think - I’ll just sell the house - and keep the place and put me a little get away down there - then I think “why”. Why not just sell and enjoy the freedom of being able to move again - and buy a pretty damn nice place in the South. Better weather - have no obligations and I know the wife will be set up whenever I kick off.
Sucks having attachment to physical stuff - wish u could be more disciplined in that regard and just not give a F about holding on to the past. As a gambler - it’s a key trait you need to have - being able to look at only the present/future value and not counting yesterday’s returns. We see a winning streak - we hold on thinking it’s more likely to repeat.
Just hate to sell as a. I know there’s no going back once I do - and b. Know I need to have someplace to park the idle money - and a booming stock market ahead of a presidential election is rarely a good place to do that. Guess boring ass CD or money market - now that rates are somewhat attractive.
