My parents passed on over 25 years ago, and their house and belongings were sold or donated to charity.
The house I am now living in was supposed to be temporary, for about 5 years or so, but we have lived here for 22 years now. My youngest son calls it home, and my grandsons have never known any other place, they call it Grandma’s House.
They are all familiar with every nook and cranny. My son asked me to please not sell it, because he wants to live here with his family when I don’t want it anymore.
We are in a bind right now, because the house I bought for him and his family is worth half of what we paid for it, and way below what we still owe on it. My house has also dropped below what we owe on it, even though we have been paying on our mortgage ever since we moved here. Our equity is in the minus range.
