Off to Rome in the morning. Ought to be the greatest trip ever. I am truly excited for this step. I am also excited as I watch the real estate market begin to offer up some real possibilities for the future. That future looks to be in the 300K range. I will certainly need to figure out how to get a loan for an out of state home while maintaining the income (read: job) that gives me that loan. It likely boils down to a conversation with a lender about remote work–something that is common in this day and age.
Moving to Washington hits like an adventure. I can see us getting started next year and really taking control of our lives from that point forward. We still have a home here, but with the kids also here and hopefully paying rent if they are, we can get started on that future.
Some Thoughts:
- I may be getting way too caught up in the C. Clark WNBA drama. Remember when I did not care? The investment is two part–the first being a sociologists view of a polarizing moment, and the second is legitimately about trying not to take a side, which I have, unfortunately, done. So, I gotta step back and stop caring for real. I read more about that nonsense than I do about the upcoming election. Which one do you think impacts my actual world more?
- Will a Trump win hurt me personally?. Maybe. I cannot be sure about that, but I am really concerned he will crap on democracy and wreck the country… again… He isn’t good in a crisis.
- Because a crisis requires humility.
