INFLATION was 25% the past four years. Based on HISTORY prices will not go back to what they were four years ago unless we have a serious recession called a depression.

How to decide what to do. Old school perhaps. Write it down on index cards-it forces me to think clearly and commit. Exchange your pile of cards with others involved-wife-kid and or. That can be a surprise-all may not think the same or think The Villages or even Florida is what fits.

Finance? What can you afford? Wherever your money comes from is it secure? Many people think SHOULD BE. Problem is SHOULD BE by definition is not. We must decide by what is not by what should be.
Now is the best time to buy or to sell as you don't know what tomorrow will bring or even if you will still be around tomorrow. At our ages life is too short to procrastinate.
