We just met with our realtor last night to confirm the plan. With the market tanking, buyers have a firm upper hand and house prices are near bargain basement. Not the best time to sell but a great time to move up the real estate ladder, which is what we plan to do. No McMansion for us...just a bit more space.
As we plan this next step, one is forced to look around the house with a more discerning eye. The following step is to ask yourself, "Where did all this stuff come from?". I have a simple answer...my beloved. One of the things I love most about Jerry is his passion for life. His list of interests is as broad as it is deep. The downside to this is a basement full of odds and ends that accompany his hobbies: An old racket ball racket, pull-up bar, bobble head collection, receipts from Home Depot, souvenir cups, the list goes on and on. I can also point the finger at Ella. Sweet as pie, but boy that girl has big toys. As for me, never mind those two sets of dishes, collection of milk glass vases, a box of shoes for that "perfect occasion" and an overflowing collection of costume jewelry...those are necessities...plain and simple.
I am really looking forward to this next chapter in our lives. I realize saddling ourselves with a larger mortgage is quite a gamble. These days though, what isn't a gamble?
