Well, I intentionally left this thread because I wanted to wait for a full update. The process was murder, the buyer had issues with the IRS and of course everyone blamed the virus for the delays, but FINALLY, I have completed the process.
So, without further adieu, here we go:
I had a new buyer come and offer more than my list price. Lots of issues, but we closed yesterday! I'm now living in my new home and life is wonderful. I thank God for getting us through this; I almost backed out of the deal more than once from sheer frustration.
Now I have enough money to pay off my new home and I'm in the dilemma of, should I pay it off now, or maybe part, or maybe none. I have another thread that I'm going to update concerning just that, so if you have input, feel free to join.
Advice please home/tsp in retirement
Oh, the chance to extend my working status for one year was still processing when my retirement date came up, so I just left. My pension has not kicked in yet, but I got a nice check for all my unused annual leave, so we are good.
Wife and I have a part time job here. We fish off our dock, and swim, and garden, and play tennis, and watch the sunsets over the lake. I hope all of you get blessed the way we have.
Thank you for all your advice and good will throughout this process.
