Good luck to everyone dealing with so many challenges. We are dealing with our own accumulated junk: We are getting ready to move and it has been chaotic trying to get the house ready to list on June 15th. Realtor's photographer coming next Saturday. Spent yesterday with her taking everything we love off the walls, evicting chairs and tables, and basically mutating the place into a vacuous HGTV showpiece. I understand it, but geez it is annoying!
Moving from our rainy coastal-SC cozy house to the deserts of the west, most likely Sun City in Las Vegas. The developers around here are putting up about 8,000 new homes within 5 miles or so, plus a new Buckees at the I-95 exit that already is backed up for half a mile every morning with workers going to Hilton Head. Gonna be a mess.... We would be a lot closer to the kids in Hawaii, and we have always dreamed of long trips through the west. Grand Canyon is my favorite spot on earth, and Her Loveliness has a lifelong desire to see the redwoods and other nat'l parks. In LV, maybe we will also get to see a yearly Chiefs game! And our sons will come for hockey.
Just have to avoid that seductive spinning wheel with all those numbers and we should be ok!
