I haven't posted in forever as things have been quite busy lately. To even say life has been busy is a complete understatement to be honest. We moved back home to help out my parents as they both have had their health comprimised in the last couple of years, more so my mother. We made a bold move and huge sacrifice to move back home and to live in about a 300 Sq Ft basement (which can really show you what you're made of). I even thought we were crazy at some points through all of this. Surprisingly we've had very little fights and very little to complain about being down there. I think it's because we both saw the good to come of it and we always kept our eye on the ball. My parents are going to be putting up their house very soon in hopes to sell, retire and kick back. They would have done this a while ago but the timing was aweful, hence the reason we moved back in.
We're just about to purchase a beautiful home in Union, NJ in a great area, close to everything including NYC. We actually close on July 25th. So far there have been no complications other than Weichert Financial being up our butts constantly to make sure we "actually" have the downpayment AND the closing costs. To say that banks are scared shitless to lend money out these days is an understatement. Even if you have the money, they want to see EVERYTHING. I guess this is the way it should be and was and should have stayed...maybe the country wouldn't be in this kind of a mess otherwise.
I have been reading posts though. I check often in fact. I hope i have a lot more to post about in the coming future.
