My daughter got pulled over in NH doing over 80. Pretty girl gets away with a verbal warning. Full application of all inherent privilege. She told me she did profusely apologize to the trooper when he told her how fast she was clocked.
True story
I went to wrestling and afterwards everyone was milling around in the lobby of the theater it was held. Out walks Bruno Sammartino in a suit and tie carrying a briefcase. I was floored!
Spring blows in New England period. Last Mother’s Day it was cold and blustery. It does look like we turn the corner after the next 3-4 days and actually tomorrow looks nice. Still....cloudy but manageable temperatures vs the shit of about a week ago.
The day we sell is the day we either come into a windfall well above now or the day we leave the region. The biggest “problem “ is we really like this home and environment around it.
People have been meeting or exceeding those bids for homes imby for over 5 years. Heck, we made 100k the day we moved in and we’re up many times that now. In the end, the biggest 3 things are location location location.
The long game is the only reliable way you can do this. Selling at the bottom is nuts and timing the market is a fools errand. I actually won the only time I timed the market. In March 2009 I moved my entire 401K into equities. It worked out but I’m not sure I’d do it again. During a difficult time in my life circa 1991 I had to tap into a 403b account. The end balance was meager but now nearly 30 years later including RMDs which subtracted from value it is worth 10x that amount. It’s a near forgotten account that I don’t even consider in my assets in my head but it’s worth enough $$ to keep us going probably for a year. Patience.
