The land next to us has finally come up for sale. The owners (the couple who sold us our original 5 acres) called us and said they were ready to get rid of it; they've moved on to another phase of their lives. So, we've contacted a friend who is a realtor to help us draw up an offer. This plot is nearly 12 acres, and will cost us a pretty penny, stretching us to a bit of a limit. This will mean, if we get the land (the people renting it from the owners have the first right of counter-offer, or whatever you call it), we should watch our budget a bit more tightly than we already do. We've generally been careful about money, but were lucky enough before to go with a few splurges when we've felt like it. Now, we'll have to splurge less often if we hope to retire happily. Anyone want to buy a couple of kids? ;)
