Today I worked and left a little bit early because the company had a picnic at noon. I didn't go to it. I wouldn't feel very comfortable if I went anyways.
When I got home I got a call from a Real Estate woman that I knew. I had called her earlier in the day and just left her a message saying that I was interested in selling my place. When she called me she asked me if I was really sure if I wanted to sell. She told me that if I decide to sell and then rent a place, then it may be ten to twenty years that the money I would get can run out.
She came up with some options, but in thinking it over, I don't think that they will work even though they sound like good ideas. I could rent for the same amount that I would be paying somewhere else, but it's going to cost at least a few thousand dollars to fix the place up. I don't have that money to spare. Or I could buy a unit that's in a 55 plus place after I sell mine. But I get the feeling that I will be paying almost twice as much for it, providing it's the same kind of place that I have now.
I want to leave my place because I feel like I don't fit in well with the neighbors. I feel like I'm much older than they are plus I am all alone and the others are not. I had an eye on a 55 plus place that I would like to live at, but it's too expensive for me. So it looks like I'm going to be stuck.
