Buying Another House!
I've decided to buy my Mom's house. I've been wanting it, but just thought it was because of memories. It is of course, but I will be able to pay for it with my inheritance. I plan to put it in my and Ricky's name and hopefully be able to retire there. Our house and land willl be just too much for me to take care of so if I can find as wonderful of renters that we have for the other house... it will be a blessing.

That is excellent Janet! Maybe just maybe there will come a day when YOU can live there (alone). I was thinking that might be a solution to your unhappy marital situation.

I was hoping you'd find a way to do that and I think it's great.

Congratulations Janet! I agree with what Gayle said. You may love to live in it alone one day
I live in the house my mom and dad lived in for the last 7 years of their lives. After mom died, Mike and I decided to sell our house and move in with my dad because he was so lonely. He had a stroke and died before we could get moved in, but we bought it anyway because I didn't want to disappoint the young couple we had agreed to sell our house to. Everybody thought I was crazy to live here right after they both died, but it didn't bother me in the least. There are nothing but happy memories here, and it didn't bother me to redecorate because I knew my mom would want me to make it my own. This is the oldest, smallest house I have lived in in 35 years, but I love it here  I'm sooo happy for you!

Congratulations Janet! I'm glad you were able to do this too. Like others have said, it may be a way out for you as well.
