Our Old House

 

It is no secret that living in the SOUTH is way cheaper than living in the NORTH...  not to mention the people living in the south are way more friendly that the people living in the north.

However, that is about to change as more and more northerners are moving down into the south to live because of the lower cost of living but they are also bring their negative personalities and behaviors.

For my family, we benefited from this relocation by selling our house for more than $12,000 over asking price because a northern family had money to burn after selling their house.

As far as the new owners of our house are concerned, it the over two years that they have owned it, they have let the house and yard deteriorate to the point that it looks like several illegal immigrant families are living there now.

We notice this because we just moved around the corner to a smaller house, but we are angled in such a way that we can still see our old house and in order to get to our new house, you must pass by our old house first, depending upon the direction from which you are driving.

Personally, I don't care how the new owners treat my old house because it is no longer my house, but my wife gets upset because of all the time she spent trying to make it have curbside appeal.

The profit we made on selling our old house not only paid for the renovations to our new house but provided us with enough cash to buy a new car, after selling our old car of ten years without having to borrow any money.

What I have learned from my almost 8 decades of life is NEVER LOOK BACK...  life moves forward only briefly resting in the present.
