This reminded me… My 13 year old stepson came over on the day he learned about the Holocaust in school (Alabama) and was delighted to tell us that as a pale, blonde and blue-eyed boy he would have been considered perfect by Nazi standards. Then proceeded to complain that it wasn’t fair that he got detention for telling other kids in his class that history proved he was better than them because he would have had a great life when they went to concentration camps. 😢

Yes! We taught my nephews there are grown-up words, grown-up drinks and grown-up movies.

Replace central air: $8k Deadwood 40+ year old trees: $6k Remove & replace concrete driveway without killing the 80 year old pine who’s roots are buckling it: $8k Remove particle board siding and replace with vinyl: $12k New water heater (+ new requirements for not having a pressure bomb in the house): $3k

Owning a home for three years has been more expensive than renting for a couple decades. Sure the mortgage is $500 a month less then rent, but the loans/credit card + interest for all the above is killing us.

Seriously considering one of the brand new apartments in the up and coming district for only $2k a month if we can sell the money pit with outdated everything!!
