The Moving Blues
I just found out that I will have to move. My landlord is selling the house that I have been renting for the past two years, so I have to pack up all my stuff and hit the road. I hate change and moving is one big change. Now I have to worry about things like: is my credit good enough, will I find a new place in time so that I am not out on my ass . . . . At times like this, I realize how important it is to own your own stuff. When you own something, you don’t have to worry about anyone putting you out (provided of course you don’t get stuck with an adjustable mortgage rate). There are so many things to think about now. . . .location to work, apartment or townhouse, can I afford even a slight increase in the rental rate I currently pay.
The landlord has assured me he will work with me and allow 30 days notice once the property is sold, but I am not banking on that. I want to be gone long before my stuff ends up on the curb.
here’s hoping it works out to be an opportunity …and relatively hassle-free, as well.
