Physically I’m in Mountain View, Arkansas, USA. I’ll be 64 years old in January 2012.
According to the divorce decree, as of February 1, 2012 the title to the house where I live reverts 100% to the ex-wife. This despite the fact that we currently have joint ownership and have an equal amount of money invested in the house. Oh well. Such is life in the United States.
Almost certainly I will never own another house. The way the rules and laws are now concerning mortgage loans I am one of the people who will fall through the cracks and be swept under the the rug. My income is such that I have just a little too much to qualify for public housing but not nearly enough to get a loan to buy a house. This despite the fact that I’ve been making the payments on this house for a year and a half now.
The good news is I’ve got a backpack, a small steady monthly income, and I know the way to Central and South America. From there, I think I can manage to find the world.
