I know.
There’s a lot of conflicting information.
That’s why I/we plan for the worst case scenario and if/when that doesn’t happen, nothing changes. We are no further behind.
If it does, then we still don’t have anything to worry about.
We bought a new house in NH last year.
When Cuomo and NYS passed that atrocious abortion bill, I said to mr. mm that we needed to get out of the state. We had been talking about retiring to NH for some time, and last summer seemed like the time to pull the trigger.
I just had a gut feeling that we needed to buy that house while our money was still worth something and we could afford it. And a scenario like this never occurred to me. I was looking at the political climate and told him that I wanted to move before the 2020 presidential elections.
I didn’t see any good outcome no matter who won. If Trump won, I could see a repeat of 2016, maybe even worse.
If Trump lost and God forbid a dem got in office with a dem House and Senate, then we can kiss this country goodbye.
Plus, the market was due for a correction and there had been rumblings about it for years. That was also not a matter of if, but when.
If we had waited until this year to do it, we’d have really been screwed. As it is, it’s just a matter of finishing moving our stuff and putting this place on the market and praying for the best.moving
Good job. NH in the rural areas is much, much safer. Take care!
