HOW I SAVED $3,000.00 BY LIVING WITH THE 'RENTS

& Update on Moving Across the Land (Part 1)

You may think living with the folks is just for the young, not so! El Carino, Zoey, and Simon took my folks up on their kind offer to live with them “rent free” after our home sold. There were surprising benefits over the cash saved!

Quick recap for those just joining in.

El Carino got a new job at the other end of the country.

Last April we courageously put in an offer on a well priced, short sale (In a short sale, the buyer pays less for the property than the seller actually owes. It happens in a falling home price environment when the seller has difficulty paying the mortgage) condo in a beautiful development. We’d heard about the horrors of buying a short sale, but thought we had plenty of time to work out the kinks.

Fortunately, we sold our existing home, but we were left with nowhere to live. What was initially expected to be a couple of days has turned into a month with the ‘rents. (Update… 6 WEEKS WITH THE ‘RENTS)

From April until June, we were waiting to hear whether our offer on the property was accepted. After 2+ months, our offer was accepted.

Next hurdle, get our financing lined up on the condo. It didn’t seem to matter that our credit was great, or that we have successfully paid off several other mortgages. After sending reams of documents to the mortgage company over the ensuing weeks, we thought we were nearing the end of the loan approval process.

During the final week in July, we were informed that our loan was approved and the settlement papers would arrive any day. Five days later and no documents was no surprise.

While writing this article I received another call from the mortgage broker. Oops, they need one more piece of information. So our loan is approved, but we can’t close until we get this next piece of information is clarified. Mind you, it’s 7:14 PM on Friday evening. Not likely we’ll be able to do much else on this matter until Monday.

A week later, our loan is really approved. Another three days and the remote title company notary visits  the ‘rents home for us to sign the settlement documents.

Next, I’m off to the bank to wire the funds for the down payment!

In a few days weeks we will begin our journey to our new home with stops at Mount Rushmore and Brice Canyon. Our four month process of moving across the land is drawing to a close… stay tuned for the final episodes!

How We Saved the Cash; Would This Work For You?

Had the folks not offered their home, we would have been in temporary quarters for about $100.00 per night! A few days wouldn’t have been
too bad, but our temporary stay ran into an entire month 6 weeks or a total savings of more than $3,000.00 in hotel bills.

Although we are buying some food and incidentals, and taking the ‘rents out to dinner on occasion, the savings are huge. The folks love having us here, we’re old enough to clean up after ourselves, and we are pleasant company :).

The evenings, filled with watching movies and playing games has been fun and a unique change from our usual routine.

For those readers strapped for cash, out of a job, or in transition; if you have willing relatives, go hang out with them for awhile. But remember, be pleasant, courteous, pick up some groceries, and take them out to eat once in awhile. You’ll save some cash and might even enhance your family relationships.

How have you handled major life transitions?

  2. I was impatient to carry out necessary research but I really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 75,700 GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 214,575 GBP within a couple of weeks. But I didn’t realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason.

    I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all cost, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online search for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience.

  6. After seeing several positive reviews about XAP Credit Solution on different blogs and websites, I decided to give them a try. Although I was skeptical at first, I reached out to them by email, and they clearly explained the process and what would be required to work on my credit. According to my experience, my FICO score increased to 795, negative items on my credit report were addressed, including an eviction and a judgment, and tradelines were added to my credit profile.

  7. I lost $292,900 in Bitcoin after investing with an online mining company. After realizing I had been scammed, I spent a long time searching for ways to recover my funds and contacted several services without success.

    During my research, I came across Mighty Hacker Recovery through Google and YouTube. What caught my attention was that they said they would not require any upfront payment before providing their recovery service. I decided to contact them to discuss my case and understand their process.

    Throughout the process, they kept me informed about the progress. After several days, I was asked to provide my Bitcoin wallet address, and my case was concluded. Their fee was handled after the service rather than being requested in advance.

    If you’ve been the victim of a cryptocurrency scam, it’s important to do your own research, ask questions, and carefully evaluate any recovery service before proceeding. Every case is different, so take the time to verify information and understand the process before making any decisions.
