We closed on our house yesterday. Yay! Seems like it’s been forever instead of only 20 days. Thank og it’s finally over. We’re both just ruined wrecks of humans at this point. Wish I could find somewhere to stash the money safely for more than 2% annual yield, but it doesn’t look like there is much out there that isn’t risky at this point.
In four days we hook up the car to the motor home and head south, leaving Alaska to the Palin-bots.
Congrats! What are your plans? Staying in the mobile?
We will probably list our house within the next year or so. Or goal is to sell first and then look as cash-buyers. Since we intend to buy again quickly, there will be no need to try to get tremendous returns on the sale proceeds.
I’m not sure it would necessarily be too risky to put at least some $$$ in a general index fund, or perhaps health and energy stocks/funds. And you should be able to get over 2% in some bonds. Of course, the degree of risk you are willing to accept leads us back to your plans …
Yay! Good luck in the new home.
Congrats! Here’s looking forward to hearing Chefguy’s Tales From The Road.
