  1. We had the absolute blessing of being able to take a weekend getaway to the north Georgia mountains. We opted for a 500 square foot Airbnb and it was more than enough room. I immediately took out my sketch pad, and started sketching out where I would put things, how I could separate the absolutely beautiful oversized dining area into another bedroom and an office area, where I could put a second bathroom if I needed it, etc. Hubs had to remind me that, 'Hey, this isn't our house.' and my response was always...... But it could be 🤣 I have literally four loads to go to the Goodwill right now. Our oldest two are military, so nomads in a sense. And our last little birdie just flew the coop. We are heating and cooling 2700 square feet of space and we literally utilize the kitchen, the den, our bedroom, and our office. We are both within 9 years of full retirement, but I cannot see continually doing this with the taxes hiking up every year and builders bulldozing the acreage surrounding us to slap up townhomes. As if 250 townhomes within a 1.5 mile radius weren't enough. We have been fighting this battle for well over 4 years and the little guy doesn't count anymore. They are buying out our lots and suggesting that we choose a town home which starts at $500,000... I've lived here for 32 years, my house is only valued in the high threes, yet they buy the broken down houses surrounding us for $700,000 to start but won't go above three for mine. But they want the land. I figure I'm going to try to get out while I'm at the top of the game. When they come for mine, once they start giving the neighbors their High 700,000 checks, I'll take mine too. I just don't want to be caught out there with no options.
