Wolvie, You are certainly getting some good advice here. I was griping about the closing costs on a house but that is just a temp thing. I can tell you first hand I was sitting in the mountains listening to the coyotes howling and wondering where the next $ was coming from ( and I owned 3 businesses and had two rental houses.) But area was so depressed people were expecting me to extend credit which I could not do. Anyway after being hounded by my sons I came to DC metro area to prove a 49 year old man could not find a decent job. As I planned I put in 3 job applications and ran back to the mountains. When I got home I had job offers from 5 companies. Seems they share their applications. Four days later I came here and started a job at $24.00 per hour (a far cry from the 10 thousand I had made the previous year) with benefits and locked in to their retirement. I found a house trailer and rented it , then moved near the water and am now buying a house. Hope to stay there until retire then head to Florida. Today while standing on a flat rooftop my apprentice and I counted 42 stationary construction cranes sticking up around the surrounding buildings. Problem is it is too easy for us to accept the bad conditions and we really dont accept how bad they are until we can get away from them and look back. Never hurts to see what is on the other side of the fence.
