0:00.0	As I have record today's show, I am sitting here in the office in my rental apartment,
0:07.0	thrilled with the fact that the house that my wife and I have owned for the past two years and 11 months, has now sold, and we are no longer
0:15.4	homeowners.
0:16.4	Now why would somebody with a personal finance podcast who presumes to teach others about finance
0:21.1	be happy about the fact that they've given up on the American dream and moved
0:26.6	from home ownership, living in a nice fancy house, to moving into a fairly basic rented apartment.
0:35.0	Well, today I'm going to tell you that story in hopes that you can draw some lessons that may

1:49.0	Or it's at the very least going to be all about my story.
1:52.0	This past Friday we
1:54.1	actually closed on the sale of our house and I posted a picture on my social
1:57.9	media accounts of two images that I fused together. One was the picture of my wife and me standing in front of the house on the day that we bought it on
2:06.8	Closing day December 31, 2012 and the other was a picture of us on Friday morning standing in front of the
2:15.7	commercial office building where we signed the closing paperwork for the sale of
2:19.2	our house two years and basically two years and 11 months and about two days or three days later.
