Where I Am Not Today

The auto dealership where I bought my car five years ago desperately wants me to drive down there today and sell my car back to them. I feel so guilty about the manager being in an embarrassing situation!

More money than I ever thought possible for my car? I wonder what my house is worth? Solicitations from local realtors, as well as “we buy homes” outfits, come in the mail almost weekly. They’d be delighted to give me an estimate of the house’s market value! But I’m a grumpy “aging in place” senior whose selfishness is preventing some nice, young family from owning a home.

Follow-up: I’ve done some checking on the local market. It seems the recent spike in mortgage rates is having a negative effect on the asking prices for houses, compared to a couple of months ago.
