At these prices I would be doing some searching too, Isn't it the pits when rents go up by that much. Keeping my fingers crossed that you find something nice that agrees with your pocketbook...

Monday night, got home about 6:15...there was a message from the mortgage broker saying she had gone over the numbers and wanted to talk to me about a couple of things....so I left HER a message...phone tag.

Tomorrow night is the meeting on the Reserve Fund Study - all about this condo repairs and fee increase and stuff.

So, things will be clearer by Wednesday morning.

I had three meltdowns today...maybe I don't belong in an office...anyway, the benefits cover counselling, so will see if job counselling - as in, how to adjust, is part of the plan.

I'll keep you posted.

I'm just now catching up some here on PT. I'm sorry to hear of your struggles right now! Moving is stressful enough without feeling like it isn't really your choice! I hope you get some good news from your realtor!

I have part of my answer...I can afford several decent condos - all of which are ones for sale in my building! LOL

Thanks, Kim, after I was so awful to you. I hope you are better. How are all the moms and babies doing? When you're healed, and if you have time, it would be great to see another 'family gallery'.

I am looking into counselling as in the last two weeks, I am repeating a pattern that cost me my last two jobs(horrible as the bosses were). I am having more meltdowns/dissolving into sobs in the last two weeks. I cried for the first 20 minutes or so at work today.

HUGS to you all and thanks for caring.

Candace, I am fine and no hard feelings toward you! Coming from one with my own "issues", I do hope you will get the help you need before you get to a very low place! It sounds like you are catching yourself "just in time" and that is a big step!

Well, a possible reprieve as a result of the condo owners' meeting tonight.

One owner, who runs crews as a project manager for a major construction company, looked at the projected expenditures for future work on the buildings, and thought the figures were "out to lunch."

The figures in the Reserve Fund Study are created and projected by engineers, who are by nature risk-averse - and that is a good thing.

Now, the construction guy is going to talk to his tradespeople and get more of a 'real quote'. There is a three-person committee looking after this, including him (and our Board accountant).

We'll know by mid-August if we can do the huge expensive things for less than written down.

As for the meltdowns...my job-share colleague told me today to cut myself some slack. Our employers are wonderful people - but the one fellow can be pretty intense...and sometimes we are on our own figuring things out that our bosses aren't clear on. (That's why we're paid the big bucks, right? )

Still going to check with my doc, but I feel better.

Thanks everyone.
