No longer a homeowner
The sale of our home of the last 21 years has closed. I am officially no longer a landowner. —Bob

I hope that is a good thing for you.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Re: No longer a homeowner
I moved into my apartment nearly three months ago, the day after Labor Day. Ms. 63 moved to Seattle last week. We think we got a good price for the house, more than 6% above our asking price, which resulted in four initial offers and a bit of a bidding war. If this sale had fallen through, we had a backup offer in place that was also above our asking price.
The vast majority of my share of the proceeds is going to Ms. 63. We were able to negotiate a buyout of my support obligation without spending too much money on lawyers. It helps a lot that we were friends for 10 years before we were a couple; notwithstanding present circumstances, there’s a reservoir of trust that allowed us to handle this as a business negotiation instead of a war (despite the lawyers’ best efforts).
I think she’s satisfied with the outcome. I’ll probably end up working a few more years than I’d hoped before I’m ready to retire but I’ll eventually reach my goal. And I think the new chapter in our lives will be good for both of us. —Bob
