I guess I'm just really feeling down and disgusted with everything right now.
This house we bought, just about 2 1/2 years ago, has turned into a freakin' money pit. Once AGAIN, we found termite bodies and wings in the master bedroom & bath this past weekend (rain+warm=swarm -- apparently the last treatment didn't do enough). I've put a lot of money into this place and there's still a LOT left to do just to make it what I would consider "decent enough to relax and enjoy it."
Now, with the war on, and the federal and state budgets in crisis, and the oncoming "POP" of the real estate bubble I see coming probably within the next year, I'm feeling like if I don't get the fuck out REAL soon, I'm going to be stuck with this albatross, and all the fee, tax & whatever-the-fuck-else hikes; and NEVER be able to escape.
At this point I'm seeing things from the perspective of how I can get out without taking any MORE of a total financial ass-reaming than I've already taken. Not to mention having one LESS ball & chain tying me to this state. If I'm only renting, I'm much freer to leave whenever the time's right.
Oh yeah... and $2.11/gal. on the corner down the street -- still SUCKS.
