Gave advice
To neighbor lady next door to one of our rehabs. She is thinking of moving in with her BF and renting out her house. I advised AGAINST it! She is late fifties, semi retired, divorced with grown kids and has been a SM before although not mega drama like most of us have here. Her BF is late sixties, retired and has grown children as well. Not sure if he is widowed or divorced. They seem total opposites. He is more old fashioned and she seems very independent.
She has already talked negatively about him. She seems to think it's OK b/c his kids are grown and out on their own.
I sort of have a vested interest bc her house is next door to our rentals and I'd rather her house not be vacant, sold or rented out to bad tenants. I gave her an idea what drama filled steplife is like and she seemed "SMH" but not surprised. It is a beautiful old house like most on the street but even Chef told her that "there's something to having your own place to go back to."

I guess there is one good
I guess there is one good side of my situation... SS18 is out of our lives. We will be done with CS in 3 more months and it will just be a couple of forms DH has to fill out for the next 3 semesters but thats it.
No contact and no burden. Some of these stories with sk-dults are terrifying!
CS will end
First week of January (YSS turns 21). All told Chef will have paid CS for 6 months shy of 2 decades. It is frightening to think of how much money has been flushed.
6 figure$ at least. If not multiple 6 figures$.
Even those paying a pittance in CS for the better part of 2 decades pay a notable amount during the course of the CO.
The SpermClan paid $110/mo for ~a year, $133/mo for ~9 years, $785/mo for ~2yrs, and $385/mo for ~5 years. Insignificant to our marital income. But... even when paying a pittance, over the ~17yrs they paid CS, it was over $50K. I say they, because the Spermidiot never paid a penny. SpermGrandHag and SpermGrandPa paid it all for him. They also paid CS for Spermidiot spawn #2 for 18 years, and raised Spermidiot spawn #3 and #4 with little to no help from their idiot serial statutory rapist son.
I get the need for some security as retirement looms
My DW and I just sold our home. It was intended to be our retirement home but career opportunities did not allow us to remain in that city. We rent in our current city though our intent is to buy when the housing market tanks enough to allow us to upgrade housing with our housing dollar.
It will tank... eventually. The over price of the housing market will adjust.
Hopefully, everyone here is in a good place on their housing so that they are immune to market adjustments or poised to gain when they buy at a significantly lower price point.
This is the first time in our marriage that we have not been home owners with the exception of a couple of brief (~2yr) periods when we were on international or Per Diem assignments.
