Thoughts of Moving

I'm here, I swear I am.
One new change...well...it's not really a change yet, but we have been thinking on moving from this place. Anywhere from a month to maybe 4-5 months from now.
We have been living here for about 8 years now, and we think that it is about that time to move on. We want to move somewhere a bit more in the suburbs. Somewhere a bit more quiter.
Besides, the landlady has been a bit crabby lately since we couldn't hand over all the rent right away. We have just been short on cash and trying to catch up with other bills as well...and now since the economy seems to be going to shit...gas prices and prices of everything else going up, there is really not that much left over.
We were amazed on her crabbiness because even my fiancee cuts the grass, snow blows in the winter, sprays the windows clean in the summer, and when he cleans the car, he also washes hers. My fiancee told me that if she keeps being crabby, he just will not do any of that stuff anymore (he does it to be nice...it's not required), and her find someone else to do it...since she is close to (or is) in her 80's.
Just thinking about how much stuff we have accumulated over the years here, and how much we are going to have to go through, get rid of, etc, is just mind blowing. (sigh) This includes all the junk drawers in this house. lol!
If we can't find a place in the suburbs right away, then we might move someplace around here temporarily that is cheaper and maybe a bit smaller until we can find something nice and comfortable.
Anyways, that is about it for now. Hope everyone is doing good...

I understand about wanting to move...we have been thinking the same thing. We have been in this building for 5 years now and the neighborhood seems like it is becoming more and more unsafe.

We're all with you. Times are tight for everyone. I hope you can find ways to free up some money. My husband was blessed with a raise recently, but we won't see a penny of it because he commutes 60 miles one way to work and now that gas prices keep climbing, the extra money is not extra. But honestly, I'm not complaining... I wouldn't dare. I know a couple of friends who've had to take pay cuts. (One lost his home) Hang in there for better days.

I am in the same situation - but I do get money off my rent for mowing the lawn and maintaining the place around here! We have only been here three years and I need to move soon - same with you the gas prices are putting us in a hole! I spend more and more time just sitting home now- what can a person do with gas almost $4.00 a gallon! Good luck on your hunt!

Hi. Hope things work out for you. Your landlady should be grateful that she has such good tennants

I know what you mean about accumulating stuff. We have been going through stuff here too and getting rid of things. We have lived in our house for 15 years now. I understand too about being short on cash. Everything is so high. Just hate going to the store because it is down right scary!! I wish you luck on finding a better and more affordable place to live.
