    Jake and I applied for a really nice apartment near white rock lake in Dallas.

    For those of you who don't know what that is it is for people 55 and older in good health and don't need assistance with activities of daily living.

    Found out we don't qualify as it is subsidized by the gov't for those on sec 8 or social security.

    We make too much money. I replied you've got to be kidding.

    Can't afford a house and 1500.00 a month for an apartment is too much.

    790.00 for the present place with no washer and dryer is too steep.

    So now I have an apartment locator helping us

    Any out there with similar housing situations?

    Sounds like an expensive city. Aren't they all? Is your work mobile? Can you relocate to a small town within driving distance of the things you like there? Sometimes those small towns can be inexpensive comparatively. Just a thought.

    Jeff seriously considering relocating some where as retirement for Jake is only 1 yr away and 1 salary and ss doesn't cover the bills so I guess he will just have to keep working.

    He will be 62 in 08 and wrenching on cars is taking a toll on him expecially after 40 years of doing it.

    So I am just trying to prepare for the future so we can maintain our current standard of living.
