Haha, I knew the accountant judgers would come out! How many fat, smoking doctors do you guys see? Lots!
I am an excellent accountant, but life choices such as having my now ex wife stay home with our kids for many years, which caused a great strain on our finances, putting my life savings down on my house right before the market plunged, the cost of small group health insurance ($2,350 per month for family plan), and my divorce have put me down for the count. Just trying to get back up before the count is up!
I am not making excuses or asking for sympathy for my own choices, but the situation is pressing down like a heavy stone, and I am just investigating alternatives.
The thread is taking on a life of its own, and that's really cool.
Every poker player knows that he can only play the cards in his hand that he has been dealt. As it relates to your home, the important thing for you to do now is to be that great poker player and know when to hold your cards and stay in the game or fold the cards and move on. And only you know that.
