negativity
We’ve decided to move. It hinges on selling our house in this shit real estate market caused by George W. Bush and his failed policies. It involves getting new jobs, finding a place to live, scaling down furniture, and researching new neighborhoods. We’re also going to need new child care for efrancine. We’ll need to pack and hire movers. We’ll need to roll over 401k’s and start new ones. There’s a lot to do. More than Amy can even write on a list.
We started kicking this idea around years ago. We put the plan into motion by saving as much cash as possible and paying down our mortgage. Just getting as much in order as we could. We’ve wrestled with every pro and every con. We’ve thought of all the things we’ll give up. All the things we’ll gain. We’ve talked about it on weekends and after long hours at the office. We’ve thought about this move for a long, long time. We’re not taking the decision lightly, nor have we left out many details.
Still we’re faced with constant negativity. Constant doubts. Constant criticism. It’s almost as if people that we call friends, coworkers, and family wouldn’t mind seeing us fail at something we both want so badly. What is it about humans that we don’t want other humans to succeed?
I’d like to thank the folks that are thinking positively for us. We’re going to sell the house, then we’re going to move and it’s going to be awesome. Incidentally, if anyone wants to buy an amazing home from a couple of motivated sellers buy ours.
Man…sorry you’re getting such negativity..that sucks. I think it sounds like a grand new adventure! Your house will sell…
It’s too bad people have to voice their opinions (so openly!) so much isn’t it?
i hate when people voice opinions that i don’t like. i mean why can’t you just say things that i want to hear.
it’s prolly just cause people don’t want to see you guys go! i, for one, am just jealous.
I agree with Fergville. I think they crap on your ideas in hopes it will keep you around. For what its worth I think you and your wife will be happy wherever you go. It sounds like you have a great relationship.
well thanks for all the nice thoughts honkies. i appreciate it.
I thought you were moving to Europe or something, you’re getting crap for moving across town?
Well, people hate change, its forces them to reevaluate all their assumptions,and isn’t easier to just go with the flow?
I wish you well with your adventure. I’ve always been jealous of people who could make plans and then follow them through.
no 5chw4r7z, i wish we were moving to europe. we would like to very much but it’s so hard. that’s what she said. we’re moving to chicago which isn’t exactly across town but it’s close. people aren’t so much giving us crap as just saying things like “oh you’ll never sell your house in this market”. that and some think it’s better to raise a child in the suburbs rather than the actual city which is where we’ll be living. you know as well as i do, city life offers just as much positive as it does negative. thanks for the well wishes.
