Popular Post Dottleshead ★ Posted July 19, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 19, 2020 My gal and I are perusing homes in another county when I decided to take her to a home that was a stretch for us. I had warned her that this was a 'scouting' trip and we were just seeing what was available and generate some discussion about what we both wanted. Naturally she falls in love with the place and then tried to essentially paint me as a tease ('though she did not use those words') when I told that it probably won't happen. I don't think I need to tell you how this is going to end up. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But admitting priorities - true ones - is often hard to say but easier to see in action Seriously, why post about budgets and retirement worries, but then self-sabotage yourself with "stretch" purchases? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, @Bikeguy I still need to fill out a bunch of software for my 'projected' income during retirement but based on our initial conversation -- I'm doing pretty well. I'm not in the best shape but pretty good. His main comments where as long as I'm saving money -- it's a good thing. I have to live somewhere and I'm not the only one struggling with this home thing in the PNW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
