What's weighing on your mind today?

Well, I'm trying to save up in case I have to move. The rents are so high now and I'd have to find something I can afford.

The management company here keeps raising the rent 50.00 a year now. This company has only owned the property for 4 years and the old management co. would only raise it 10.00 a year.

So I'm just thinking šŸ¤”

Do you have any idea where you will move to?

I have thought of that and many of us here have spoken of it. It could take shape is several different ways. What do you have in mind?

If rents are too high it is one option. I have guys who rent rooms at my house but maintenance is getting difficult. I would probably need a roommate if I had to rent.

For me it is when I can retire. Right now I am shooting for aged 63. another year in a half. But sure would be nice to pull the trigger now.

Depends on if you're extremely burnt out or not. For personal reasons I had to leave my career at age 59. My retirement just sucks monetarily. My husband waited until he was 65 and his retirement was at least 4x more than what I rec'd at age 59. If you pull out at age 63, I believe you'll make the same mistake I did. If you can bite the bullet for the next 2 years, you'll be so happy you did. Just my opinion as your choice is definitely your choice. Pull out early? Boom, you're slammed. Pull out at age 65? You might be surprised and happy you did so.

Nuclear war. There are many ways in which I thought I might die. You think of these things as you see time slipping away. But nuclear was never one of them. I'm sad that world events have resurrected talk of nuclear war. :sick::eek:

this is the difference in the way we get raised... because GT Britain was destroyed during the WW2... and by the time I was born 10 years later, houses had just stated being built but people were still very much in the mind set of war... and the huge damage all around... so it was common for conversations to be about war, and war related things past and present.

You have to remember that there had been 2 HUGE world wars in the space of just 20 years, and had killed so many Brits, and hundreds of thousands of home, factories, stores, hospitals, everything.... and so the lilellihood of it happening again soon.. was high in everyone minds, but they were sure that next time it would be the ''A or the H bomb''.....

..all of my childhood that's all I heard.. that there was going to be another war.. we got taught how to survive it..or not at school... we even had a an Ar Raid shelter in our gardenns at one house where we lived..... and it was very common for parents to talk about it to their children.. and scare us into thinking we wouldn't live long...

My mothers' favourite saying was , ''when they drop the bomb I hope they drop it direcltly on my head' so I dn't feel anything''.. this was said when I was knee high...

So..my whole point of this long post is to say... Nuclear war doesn't scare me as it would others because I was raised thinking it could happen any day...
