Priority

For nine years the number one priority was hanging on to my home. The first place we lived in Orange County was sold. We were on month to month. He raised the rent in all four tenants 10% every three months to force us to move. We stayed in the neighborhood. On the same street. Three blocks up. the ocean side of the street. Bigger. An extra bathroom. A pool. Also 30% more in rent. After two years the rent was raised 10%. We got a dog. At this point I will be making less money than I did when we moved to California. My rent is $1000 more. Per month. I haven’t made the kind of money I need to cover the rent payment for almost four years. Am I stubborn? Optimistic? Stupid? I have trapped myself in a situation and a mindset with the house. My way of thinking is not healthy. I am letting go of that energy frees me to realign.
