We are moving From Kentucky to Florida in May. My pregnant wife, our three year old little boy and me. I have a house that I bought for my dad a few years ago (so he wouldn't live with me) that is now all mine since he gave up the ghost. It is not much but it is paid for and in the words of a 70 year old second cousin who lives in a big house in a country club, "If you can live within your means that is good, otherwise you will still be working when you get my age, like me." I don't know about any of you but I would like to be retired when I reach 70. So I imagine that a move is worth it to cut out a house payment. I mean for 5 years I paid a house payment as well as rent. So for $300 a month we had it paid for inside of 5 years. Like I said the house is not much we picked it up for $15000 (property value only). Since the house fire was contained to the kitchen we were able to salvage the house itself which is surprising since it is basically a mobile home that was added on to. You couldn't really tell from the outside. Anyway my dad and I remodeled it just enough to pass inspection and for him to move in (His choice not mine). Meaning plywood counter top and no cabinets or anything. So I need to again remodel it the way I want it. I need to repaint it put in new flooring, kitchen and bath, it needs a lot of work. I will be posting pics and updates along the way. This is going to be mainly dedicated to the progress of the house.
