Unfortunately, we have two elderly mothers we have to think about. But it may be necessary to move eventually. Thankfully, we're right on the Illinois border, so maybe she'd find somewhere not too far away if we had to move. Also, she's worked her way up to a top administrative position, so it would be a good income to have to give up in a bad economy.
Well, hoping for the best... I don't know your wife, but if she's anything at all like our librarians, she's awesome.
I sure think she's awesome. That's why I married her! Thanks!
ok, Millennial ... look at you over there ::checks notes:: loving the woman you married! What a disgrace!
Seriously though, best of luck through this and hopefully the 1st Amendment is upheld
ETA: Not sure on your age here, was just a joke to play on the boomer 'wife bad' stereotype that in my experience is way too accurate.
Thank you. Although we're both at the very tail end of Gen X, so we didn't eat avocado toast for breakfast. Maybe that's why we have a house (in an undesirable place to live that we bought in 2017 when mortgages were reasonable).
I'm a millennial that doesn't like avocado at all, so, speaking of disgraces!
We managed to get a house, but there are also 3 of us with no kids, I can't imagine managing with two people in todays economy. We got in just before the rates skyrocketed in 2021, the house price is basically what the inflation calculators say the original owners bought it for decades ago, so, there's that at least, that we only paid the equivalent of the original list price for a 5-6 decades old house with decades of shoddy repairs such as every single plug with a ground having the ground pin tied to the neutral!
It's a real rough time out there right now though with ownership out of the realm of possibility for so many :-\
