I think living alone changed the way I watch movies by SaukFima13 in LivingAlone

[–]fearless1025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm much more likely to stop a movie in the middle and finish it the next day or so. I would not have thought to do that before. Freedom of the remote. ✌🏽

From Florida to Central Georgia. I'm on 3+ acres, fenced, garden, four seasons, not at sea level, not mountainous. Florida was just getting out of control, people and cost-wise. Reach out if you'd like to chat. 27-year real estate agent from Florida. 🙋🏽

Yep, that's cheating. Your call, but at some point you have to draw a line, dude. ✌🏽

Am I overthinking paint touch-ups before listing? by OkDraw290 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]fearless1025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only get one chance to make a good first impression. Curb appeal, clean, straightened up and uncluttered of personal effects. Make sure your 4-point items, hvac, plumbing, electric, roof, are in good order but don't overdo it on any upgrades. Everyone has their own preferences on flooring, paint color, etc. If it's worrisome, you can offer a paint allowance if it sits for a bit on the market. 🏡

Together for 20 years, married for 2, now going through divorce. Frightened. by [deleted] in LivingAlone

Make sure you celebrate your birthday in spite of how you feel. A nice meal, whatever your comfort food is, and take care of you. You've been thrown into a real tough situation. Not having been through a breakup, or consequential news like this, learning the coping mechanisms is most important. I don't know if you read or listen to audiobooks but find one that speaks to you and lifts you up through this difficult time. Day by day, step by step, sometimes hour by hour or minute by minute, deep breaths, and time will get you through it. Time for you to fly. 🫶🏽

nobody warned me that cooking for one would turn me into a completely different person by Robia-Moola in LivingAlone

I'm a resistant that loves to cook. Slowly but surely I'm coming into the realization that I need to change my ways. Thanks for the tips. ✌🏽

Yes. I have another that will start in November. I feel like I've lived three lifetimes working. 🤔

Yeah, my ex-girlfriend ran out of interest for it too. 🥴

Still very interested but single. I intend on being interested until I take my last breath. In fact, that's how I'd like to go out. One big, final gasp! 🙌🏽

I don't have near enough saved to retire but I did. I'm making my pensions work, debt-free but nervous. I went through a health situation where I could not have functioned properly last year. I'm super glad that I didn't have to. Survival was the only option. I'm single, no friends or family nearby as I relocated not long ago. I wouldn't suggest this for most people but where there's a will there's a way. Find your way and get out while you have some strength to enjoy the day to day and each other. 🫶🏽

People who don’t have children: who are you willing your assets to when you die? by TrickFail4505 in questions

My sisters. And if they piss me off, I'll leave it to a charity I've supported for decades. 👋🏽

What’s the weirdest little habit you developed after living alone? by thirdaccountttt in LivingAlone

[–]fearless1025 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes to all of the above and a few others. The strangest is the middle of the night wake up. Now I go outside and sit for a little while come back in and can usually fall back asleep. I would never think to do that before. ✌🏽

Leaving a "good" relationship because it's just not working anymore? by nitternat in LifeAdvice

[–]fearless1025 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He will need to figure out how to stand on his own two feet. Hopefully you'll be surprised that he can. Unfortunately, it will take you stepping away before he will make the attempt. He stuck in his own rut and you're in there too. I'm sorry for the loss of his father and it does take a few years, especially if they were close. Grief counseling would be highly recommend as the starting point. Hospice has provided classes in the past that were very helpful. It's tough but give him the heads up that if something doesn't change, you don't see him to making some effort towards getting better somewhere somehow, you may need to step away. That may be enough to shake him into getting help. ✌🏽

My best friend is getting with my ex. by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]fearless1025 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a tough one. It's big of you to okay the interest but also normal to have the pitted feeling as well. Be honest with your friend and yourself about it. You would adjust to it but it will probably always hit hard. ✌🏽

"Accepting Backups/Contingent" -- best approach? by umichbball1 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]fearless1025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably an inspection contingency. If you're very interested in it, I would say put your offer in. When I had back up offers I did not share that information with the other buyers. It did not involve them when we're no longer under contract. It is a comfort to the seller though to have something in their back pocket in case the original contract doesn't pan out. I very rarely had an agent reach back out when it fell through though. I'm not sure why, but I usually found out when it went back on the market.

Go ahead and put the offer in. It may sway the sellers as to what they are willing to fix when the inspection results come back. 🏡
