Decisions


 Hello all, well here is the story for the week. I am making a few decisions, one of which is to go on a cruise. It's been about five years since I've been on one and can I tell you I love the water. It's so nice and calm and pretty at night. But the price is crazy for two people, it's about $5000. and I have it, but the decision is do I want to give a cruise company that much money for a 5-day trip on the water?

Second decision is, since I sold my house, and the money is in CDs, did I do the right thing? The good part is since I sold my house in 2025, I don't have to pay Uncle Sam on the sale until 2026. Which I will owe him a nice piece of change. Right now, I'm trying to make as much money has I can off the sale of the house. So Uncle Sam will get his money next year and I still have some interest left over for myself. I know you're probably saying, but the money in the stock market you will make more than CDs, right? Well, I feel safer with it being in CDs for now until I decide where I want to put the money.

Third decision, trying to find ways to downsize, I used to do flea markets and church sales, and I purchased a lot of vintage toys, Barbie dolls were my specialty. Now I need the money for other things and people are not buying like they used to. So now I am stuck with a house full of  vintage toys that I can't get rid of. So, I am donating a lot, selling at rock bottom prices, and trying to figure out how to get rid of all my inventory, and let me tell you it's a lot.

         I have so many decisions to make it's not funny and that's not even half of them. 

                                            That's my story what do you think?
