I'm thinking 5 years tops; 1 year of public school and 4 years of college. Maybe sooner, if the stock market and my retirement account does well *the way 2021 is going maybe a lot longer *

Even as a 17 year old, she's still at the age where she is telling me she is never going to move out. I'm sure that attitude will soon change. Even if it doesn't, I can manage.... things could be a lot worse than that!

A place far off, filled with books and a small stream- that sounds heavenly!
