When I was in your situation, I eventually lost my house. Thinking back on it, I wish that I had gotten a roommate early in the process or rented it out. It was my whole retirement plan. But it was an old house, needing lots of repairs that I couldn't afford, so had to let go.

I ended up moving from Houston to Oregon because Oregon had better weather and state health insurance. I've never fully recovered from it financially, but Oregon is kinder on old folks than Houston.

I've been learning to daytrade to make up for the lost retirement. I've made every mistake in the book, but still plugging away at it. Just a thought...

Write if you need/want to.
