We had a forbearance during covid, then finalized a refinancing before the higher rates started kicking in.
Our roof leaks in 3 places and we have debt besides the house, but it's home. My older daughter is in college. They gave her half. The three of us are coming up with the other half with monthly payments directly to the school.
No school loans yet.
I have two pairs of shoes I wear regularly. One is going on three years. The other is from about 10 years ago. I dug it out of the closet and put it into rotation on days I don't have to walk much.
I just made dinner for my younger daughter and myself with a tomato (home grown) garlic and onion salad I made a couple weeks ago, but sat untouched in the fridge. It was fine. I cooked it down with a good amount of olive oil. Added herbs paprika and some kalamata olives that were also lingering in the fridge. Threw in some cooked corallini that I made a few weeks ago. Stored in a plastic container after tossing in a few tablespoons of olive oil.
It was all fine. Thankfully. And it didn't rain that hard this week.
Oh did I say, fuck private equity?
