Yay!
Bought.

Beautiful!
My wife and I signed up for 16 day Grand Canyon rafting/hiking trip in Oct 2022. Expensive but doing it with some friends and a once in a lifetime trip. Fortunately we can drive so can avoid the airfare to save a bit of money.
I’m selling a second home on Friday. I never really wanted the house, but I decided to buy it from my parents about 6 years ago to give them cash to pay off some debts. My parents continued to live there rent free. Dad passed away and Mom decided to move into an apartment in January, so I immediately started getting it ready to sell. As it turns out, my 26 year old niece and her husband wanted to buy it. So I decided money wasn’t everything and decided to sell it to them about $10,000 under what it probably would have sold for in the hot open market. At a loss for me.
Sooo, since there is no mortgage to pay off, I have decided to spend a portion of my sale proceeds to paint my own home, have my own home professionally landscaped this year instead of doing it myself, and I’m having the aging concrete driveway torn out and replaced with new asphalt. I’m quite excited about my projects. Although it will likely be June before the painting and driveway are done.
Sounds like you value family over money! For that, you deserve a B-T-D reward! Enjoy.
Aw, comon' asphalt?
Pour out a new slab and be done for life!

Still waiting and wanting to blow some more dough this year. I posted a while back I'm interested in buying some more land, close to where my ranch is. I still believe it will happen, just waiting for the hand shake to proceed with survey, legal and buy/sell etc. etc..

How much land do you have now?
That is something, I like to keep disclose. For a few reasons, sorry.
