Another week has passed by and I’ve made additional progress toward my goal RV project! First, I successfully refinanced my house to liberate equity (more on that in November); Second, I found a place to store my RV away from our harsh winter (driving it tomorrow!); Third, I’m about to make my best month online since the beginning of the year! (all thx to this action); I was also pretty busy writing (btw, my first post on Dividend Mantra will be published next Monday): How to …
I’m Done with my Fears
Everything you want is on the other side of fear -Jack Canfield When I was a kid, I was fat. Until the age of 13-14, I was borderline obese. I grew up in a small village where I was the “fat poor kid”. I was the last pick for any sport, the kid others complained about when they were “stuck” with me on their team.

Not Selling my House, Leaving Anyway
Is there something to understand from all this? This is my wife’s line on a Friday night when we realized that we were going nowhere with the house sale. Yup, you read that right: it’s been a month that we are working with potential buyers and yet, nothing happened. In fact, both dogs are dead. Two Offers, No Winners! I’ve been updating you for the past couple of weeks on how close we were to selling our house. Our first buyers were perfect: we got the price we wanted plus the fact …
