Time for more blurbs. I’m a hoarder when it comes to one thing: the written word. I’ve got stacks of interesting articles and newspaper clippings everywhere. I used to file them away, but I don’t have the patience for that…
Money Monday: Retirement Property for the Price of a Car
Did anyone see this article today in the NYTimes about retirement condos in Florida? The woman featured in the article recently purchased her 2-bedroom condo for $26,900. Are you kidding me? Can we all make a pact to buy one…
