[quote=sdrealtor] . . . Pretty certain this describes you. You are selling your book here. You have to ask yourself what part you played in buying where you did. Have you never thought of your home as your retirement nest egg and counted on some level of appreciation? . . .[/quote]
I can’t go into the precise reasons here as to why I purchased where I did but, suffice to say, I had no choice in the matter at the time if I wanted to continue to raise my children. My particular area did not get nearly as hard hit as the newer (MR/HOA) areas of Chula Vista. And no . . . I never even considered that my home would be my “retirement nest egg.” I considered it to be a more than adequate home to raise my kids in. And when the last one is gone, I will be gone. End of story.
Are you suggesting I write a book? Who do you think would buy it??
