Financial news

Wow, this was a bad time to ditch a secure comfortable income, huh?

I'm not frantic, as I know I can weather a short- to medium-term financial storm, but I continue to be impressed with my lifelong knack for pessimal timing.

It was a couple months after we moved in, yeah, we were "under water" for several years, having bought at the peak.

On the other hand, $295K for a 1500 sq ft 4br 2ba house in a decent neighborhood seems cheap enough today....

PS: Lost a flowerpot in that earthquake, 11 miles from the epicenter. Nothng else.
