My wife sold my house this weekend.....

Sucks that the market has dried up like it has Mike. Hate to lose ya man, and I hope you're able to find something soon...

I don't know... might have a job offer in san diego... might not...

If not, we'll head down to florida to hang with my wife's dad while we figure out the next thing. I might get a job on the beach arranging deck chairs LOL....

San Diego...you will need a big pay raise to live in that place...baller status!

Well, if you buy a home - yeah, prices are insane. Apartment rents are about $1500+/month depending on what you want (i've seen shitholes advertised for $900/month), and i only need a 1 bedroom. San Diego is a military town and rents seem to be in line with what military guys make for apartments near the military bases. Gas is insane of course.

If we move out here i plan to finish my 4 year degree and then maybe i'll move on somewhere else (I've found that a 4 year degree is the new high school diploma to employers, and i've only got a 2 year degree).

I think that San Diego will ultimately simply be a stop on the way to somewhere else. If San Diego falls thru i think we'll be heading down to Florida to stay with my wife's dad for awhile until we figure stuff out.

Good luck Mike! I hate to see you sell your block and all, but you can always buy/build another one. Good luck!

If you ever need another 79 you know where one is waiting. Good luck with the move and if you need anything let me know.

Am I the only one who thought this was going to be a deployment horror story from the title? Lol

Probably so. Most of us have known Mike since the 90's

Bumming around without a residence to take care of, and all the shit you've accumulated inside it over the years is quite a relief. Trust me.

"The things you own end up owning you" deal. People thought we were nuts when we sold/donated the majority of what we had but I was so glad to rid my life of baggage. It taught me I could walk away.

Yup. Went from 2100 square feet to 750 and a garage, and it is GRAND. Takes 45 minutes every 2 weeks to clean this place up, including dusting, vacuuming, etc. I'll buy another house or condo at some point, but I definitely learned a lot from that last fiasco.

buy a camper, get on I35, and drive to you run out of gas. Then live there

[SNEAKY]

wow Mike, i guess should have waited to buy the XL, i bet i could get a killer deal on it now.

[mikeb]

Sneaky, low balling LOL.....

I've got some other stuff that i'll sell ya right now

[MattB]

What else you got Mike, besides what's in the classifieds section? I've been out of town, but I'll be at my Dad's tomorrow, so I'll try to at least get him to buy some of your Pontiac shit!

What he said! Though it would be early 2k's for me...
