Hi all, I am a new member here
and I need some advice please.
My husband and I are approaching our 40's and we have no savings or retirement.
We have a home on 11.5 acres. We like the area we live in and love the home we built. My husband is self-employed and I work for a small family owned company. We do not make much money, nor do we live a luxurious lifestyle, but we are happy and thankful for what we have. As many people these days money is getting tighter and harder to stretch and my stress is at maximum levels. I suggested selling our home (equity) to buy another home with no mortgage so we could put a savings plan in action. My Husband does not think it is a good idea with today's real estate market to sell and would rather "wait out" the economic slump so we could sell the home for more than what we could currently get. Which I am thinking "and when will that be". I feel like I am gonna unravel and I don't want to. Any suggestions please?
