SO, I’m waiting for my closing date on the farm. The mortgage company says they can’t find the original paperwork, so will have to re do some of it….

My house is ALMOST up for sale, back in Georgia.

Something funny struck me.

I have a house that I’m paying mortgage on, and not living in. I’m trying to get a new place and put a mortgage on it. I’m living in a hotel.

In Goergia, I have two vehicles that I will be selling. Yesterday I just bought a used truck and drove it to the hotel. I also have a rental car.

I have lots of money in the bank that I don’t want to use to pay for the car, because I will need cash for buying the farm. I could cash in CD’s but why? It would cost me next to nothing to finance this used truck for a couple months until my old house sells.

So I apply for a car loan and they were concerned to loan me money because I have no income…. seems they didn’t look at the cash on hand part of the application, only the income part… Perhaps if I told them I have no money, they would lend me some… I guess I’ll just pay cash for the truck and be done with it.

Wasn’t there a saying about retiring and making your life easier? I think I missed the details of that!
