So I really am not trying to neglect this but the problem is typing hurts. Having the nerve problem in both arms makes typing one of those things I call a chore. I’ve barely been able to play Minecraft, work on my stories, write in my journal, or even hold things. The pain is almost unbearable at times. I haven’t given up. Hell right now we’re only living in my sister’s house by her good graces.
So:
- My sister is letting us stay because of my health
- My mom is more pissed
- Ashley is taking me to a temp place to see if they can find something for me to be able to do
- She still isn’t working.
I am mad that she’s decided and didn’t think it through that she’s going to live with her cousin. Problems:
- Her cousin plans to get a loan for $35,000 with her as a cosigner
- Her cousin is demanding her to get a $35,000 loan for upgrade costs
- Her cousin is getting two dogs (that I will be stuck dealing with when I’m there)
- Her cousin is doing all the deciding on everything.
- Her cousin is moving Matt and his 2 dogs and 2 cats in
So I got into with her about those the other night. She won’t change her mind. I’m not going to live in a house where we get no say in anything and OWE way too much. Did I mention for that same $35,000 we could get a new truck and a nice apartment? She won’t listen to me about it so I am probably gonna live with my sister longer or get an apartment on my own. I am not having anything to do with that plan. Also any other upgrades done that cost more than the loan have to be split between them.
She plans to sell the house. Okay? Houses in that area are only going for $65,000. You’re going in owing $70,000. You will NOT make any money on that house. No one wants to listen to me. I’m looking at it logically. All it really needs is a bathroom upstairs and the basement insolated and maybe a few upgraded things in the kitchen. Where in the world does it make sense to expand the house just so you can put 2 bathrooms UPSTAIRS in a tiny area? It’s stupid. 1 bathroom is perfect. Nothing else would be needed. BUT no. She has a whole house being redone while living in it and working. I see it being a failed venture. Not the idea being bad but the way they are going about it. Go for something like $14,000 (my sister’s house is an example). Put in the $20,000 in upgrades (bigger kitchen, better stairs, new roof). Sell for $70,000. Let’s do the math here: costs- $34,000, sell-$70,000. Profit of: $36,000 total. So the break down would be each: cost-$17,000, sell- $70,000/2, bringing out a total of $35,000 each minus $17,000 (start up) equals a profit of $18,000. Why not do it that way? Makes sense.
Sadly her cousin wants to take on a huge project that she won’t finish because it will be too much and cost too much and make nothing back. But what do I know? I don’t house hunt in my spare time at all.
