Took the house off the market here in NJ. seriously folks I am not sure what the government is saying and I know having the house on the market for 30 days may not be a good indication but things are slow .
I decided after a trip thru the raleigh area and saw what my money will buy me in real estate and saw the tremendous growth that is occuring and TAXES that will only GO UP in that part of NC heck wake cty is opening 7 NEW SCHOOLS in August of this year and well I think I will stay here for 3 years at which time I will have a much better financial footing. The pension will be near 42,000 instead of 31,000 and during this time I will travel all over the usof a to find the best place to set my hat.
In the meantime my mortgage is still fixed at 5.5% for the next 4 years and my salary will go up 4 % each of the next 3 years.
Sure I must work in Newark and that commute but hey I am comfortable with my choice.
So I quit at 53 instead of 50 not bad.
