Faith. Family. Freedom. Finance. Fun. Helping home sellers get top dollar & helping buyers get the best terms in Scottdale, Gilbert, and Phoenix, Arizona!
Client was a VP at a large company.
62 years old. Was going to work until 65.
January: called into HR.
Severance package. Sign by Friday.
He called me that afternoon.
"I think I just got retired."
No transition. No goodbye lunch. No plan.
His whole identity was that job.
His social life was those people.
His purpose showed up every morning at 7:45am.
The money was fine. We figured out the money in two meetings.
The identity took a few years.
He told me recently: "The hardest part wasn't losing the job. It was realizing I'd built my whole life inside someone else's building."
Retirement that happens to you hits completely differently than retirement you choose.
Millions of people in their 60s are navigating this right now and nobody is talking about it.
@Mr_Husky1 If he "insists" without discussion, that's not a money question; that's a relationship question.
That aside, there isn't enough info to get valid real estate advice here.
What is it worth? What is owed on it? What is the market doing? Does he have a house? etc.
@trentjhughes I would hyper focus. Stick to bounce houses. Become the go-to person locally. You will have lower start-up and delivery costs (car vs truck).
Man, I've almost convinced myself to do this, now! 🤣🤣🤣
@theficouple First? Meet with a financial coach.
A good coach should help them focus on increasing income and reducing housing, living, & debt expenses.
@realestatedude0 A handyman is likely NOT getting all mold out of the house. It's NOT just about replacing drywall.
There could be HUGE liability in not doing proper remediation.
Some info on mold-borne disease:

@texasrunnerDFW It's the serenity of being close to the water, and not having to travel far to the beach (something others often save up for all year).
I don't need a big house as long as it's by the water! (Said the guy who lives in the desert!) 😭

Are your kids interested in bugs?
I found some free bug-related kids' activities (coloring templates, bug craft guides, etc.) that you can download from the @TrulyNolen website:

@abc15 Why would @lyft or @Uber have this driver active with a DUI history? Unacceptable! (And if they don’t do periodic rechecks of driving records they needs to start ASAP).
