Interviews

 Hello all well here's the story for the week. I am doing interviews with real estate agents so that I can get my house back on the market. I told you what happen to the last Real Estate Agent that I had. Well Interviewing is not easy. The Real Estate agents that I have interviewed say the same old thing. I live in the neighborhood, I can get you cash buyers, my commission is worth the work I do, Sign right here etc. Some Real Estate agents do their homework like showing me the comps on houses in the area, and other stuff don't.

All I know is that I need a good Real Estate agent that is hungry to make a sell. I do have someone in mind, but I will keep you posted. Looking at my life it goes so fast and there were so many things that I wanted to do but was too afraid to do them. Like move to Las Vegas to gamble and live.  I wanted to go on a road trip in a RV for 3 months. Just to travel to states where the food is tasty, good and cheap. Life is so short if you have a dream do not wait do it!

                                             Well, that's my story what do you think?

Never

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. Never, I mean never get sick because it will cost you more than a mortgage payment sometimes.  I have some health issues that require me to go to specialists every 6 months to 1 year. Which if it wasn't for my insurance (Thank God) I would be broke and homeless already. I still pay out of pocket but it's not nearly as much as they ( New York Doctors) are charging for their services. For example, I got a statement yesterday from my medical insurance that my heart doctor is charging $2000 every 3 months to monitor the device that is planted in me for heart issues. That's crazy expensive. If I had to pay that out of pocket, I would be broke and on the verge of homeless in a month.

As of right now I am doing all I can to make money so that I can have a medical money cushion for the future. Again never get sick it's just too expensive.

On to other news I am in the process of interviewing Real estate agents so that I can sell my house. So far nothing.  It seems like they all have the same speech when they talk to you. I will keep you posted of what's or who I pick.

                                                 That's my story what do you think?

Fired

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. I fired my real estate agent. She had my house for 6 months and only presented me with 1 offer. Which was too low. I gave her a chance and I think when I spoke to her, she had given up on selling the property anyway. So, we both agreed it was time to move on. Now I am in search of a new real estate agent to sell my home. But this time they only get 2 months to sell it not 6 months.

Con Edison is killing people with their price hikes. It's bad enough that they sneaked in increases to make up for the covid-19 losses they suffered. People were not paying their bills, so they attached them to the people that were paying. Saying that Con Edison did a recheck of the meters and some other kinda bulls**t like that. Which allowed them to charge you more for less service. They are such a rip-off!!

I am scared that getting old and not having enough money to live on is keeping me up at night.  With inflation and the high cost of living. No wonder I can't sleep. 

                                         That's My Story What do You Think?

Expensive Knish

  Hello, all happy day after Valentines Day. Well, here's the story so far. Can you say New York is Expensive well it is. I went out to lunch today at Bens which is a kosher Deli. Food use to be good there but. It's not anymore and for 2 overstuffed sandwiches and 2 potato knishes the bill was $55 dollars. That's half of my grocery money for the week. My partner told me with things so expensive eating out is a luxury like going on a cruise. He's right.

The worst part about eating out is not only the expense it's that the food they serve is not good anymore. I find it tasteless. What do you think? I love that we have been getting nice weather in New York. Yea no snow and springtime will be in a few weeks. Can I tell you I am not a fan of snow.  Since I have to shovel it.

I can't wait to sell my second home the bills like water, electricity, property tax keeps rising and we are making the payments but that is money we could use for other things. I learned a lesson no more 6 months contracts for my new real estate agent. If the new real estate agent cannot sell the house in 2 months, they are fired. My current real estate agent has 2 weeks left on her contract and I don't think she's even showing the house anymore. She knows her days are numbered.

                                  So that's my story what do you think?

Expensive Cats

 Hello all well here's the story for the week. My feral cats are costing me a fortune in dry cat food. It's been 2 years and don't ask why I started feeding them. Felt sorry for them, I guess. Anyway the 16.5 lbs. of dry cat food use to cost me about $15.00. Now it's $23.00. I had to ration the food for the cats. I have 3 sometimes 5 depending on who comes to eat.

I am so tired of carrying an empty house. I told you I have a second home that I rent but it's empty because of the covid scare. Did not want people living off of me for free. I can barely afford me. So, the energy bill came in yesterday for the second home. It was $70 more than the normal price I pay. The billing for just carrying the gas into your home is crazy. They charged me $120 just to carry gas through the pipelines and the usage was like $40 bucks.  If you would tell me Con Edison is not ripping people off. I would tell you you're lying. Because they are.

                                                 So that's my story what do you think?

Sick Of It!!

Hello all well here's the story for the week. I am sick of death crossing my path. Death has kissed to many people for me this week alone. First my old co-worker passed and now my aunt has passed to.  I'm tired of death. It seems that when you get a certain age that's all you hear about is death, for once I like to hear Hey, we hit the lottery, hey would you like to go on a cruise for free, Hey Family guess who is getting married, having a baby. You get the idea good news only.

Also, I use to work for Macy's and when I heard it was going out of business. I thought I might as well get a jump on my pension. Because if Macy's goes under there goes the pension. So, I called Macy's benefits department, and they sent me a letter stating that I will not get a pension until 2027. It will be $87.50 a month. Which is held in an annuity.  So, with that I will not be counting on that money when I get 62 because it will not be there. You know $87.50 is nothing to sneeze at I could use that money in the future to pay a bill or buy food with. Now let's see if I get it in 2027!

                                        That's My Story What Do You Think?

Feel Good

 Hello all well here's the story for the week. Feeling good I am a person who loves my money but I realized that money doesn't make you feel good. So, what I decided to do is to reach out and visit friends and relatives I have not seen in a while. I visited my aunt yesterday and after the visit I felt good. Better than money made me feel.

Also, I had to call Verizon the phone company because they had wires hanging from my rental home but get this the wirers were connected to nothing. There is no phone, internet service in the home. So, they came out to remove the wirers free of charge of course.

This week has been quiet, and I like it like that.  That's my story what do you think?
