We are in the process of getting the condo ready to sell before we move. Because of the economy, we will be taking more than a
50% loss on the place. A lot of folks wouldn't sell because of that, but I figure 'a bird in the hand,' etc. Besides, we've only got about another 20 years left, 30 at the most, and the way we live, probably a lot less. I'd rather cut and run with what we have, than think about holding out for more. My kid has more money than I do, so he won't have to worry about praying for a big inheritance just to survive. And in Thailand, you can live comfortably on 1/5 of what it costs in Japan or the US. You just can't read the street signs. But I have trouble doing that here, so no big deal.
