That's hot, and we might hit that # in a day. Luckily, next week the temps come down.

Next week is cooler than Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and today were. That means no 80 degree day or in Thursday's case a 90 degree day. Next week is is supposed to 72, 74, 62,57,74,72 and 60 degrees as highs although Door County is supposed to be even colder.That's hot, and we might hit that # in a day.

No but you would have a comfortable bank account of $650,000 plus social security for you and your wife plus whatever other retirement savings you may have accumulated, and whatever earnings garnered from the 650K. No maintenance, no lawns to mow, no property taxes. Just travel, local or wherever, without worry about what is happening to your home. Just a personal decision, but I had enough of property ownership. I love my kids, but I had no desire to leave them all my equity if I should buy the farm while I scrimped to make ends meet.

I think it's just that one size does not fit all. Whereas you and I rent (each, for our own various reasons), I can also easily see how home ownership for many others, is their preference. What's important is that we all have a roof over our heads!
Home ownership has too many moving parts especially when one gets older. Apt living as seniors is a good thing for some, any issues - call the landlord!I think it's just that one size does not fit all.

That is for sure. The only reason I mentioned it was because after my Father passed I had that conversation with my mother. I couldn't get her to understand how she could afford to pay rent on her social security. She was 76 at the time, in 1995, and had owned the house for years and even at that time had about 200K in equity to pay the rent and would no longer have to worry about maintenance or taxes that kept increasing at warp speed. Besides she would be in a community of people her own age.I think it's just that one size does not fit all.

Timing worked for her because my sister divorced shortly after and she and her young son moved in with her solving that concern. Still unless that had happened she would have been far better off shedding the property and living free of those problems. She would have had plenty of money from equity to pay her rent and then some. The equity ended up being shared by my sister and myself. That is the one of the reasons why I decided to sell my habitat, collect the money, find an apartment and retire to the Carolina's.

1 of Door County's Farm Markets first opened for the season on Friday and another on Saturday according to their facebook pages. I do know one of them is selling fresh asparagus, fresh pies, maple syrup, and more.Happy first farm market Saturday of the year
Those markets in Door County usually have their least day open in the year some time in late October or some time in November.

I keep seeing no property taxes if you rent. Also, no maintenance. I know you’re not being charged directly for either, but, here anyway, those costs are wrapped up in your rent. It’s part of the owner’s CoDB.
Is it different somehow in NC…?

C’mon, Minnie…we all know you would rather not have a roof over your head…when it’s SNOWING…!!!!!!!!!!!
I would think property taxes are somewhat built into apt renters monthly payments. How would the owner of the apt complex pay for the annual property taxes to the county otherwise?
