I bet it is quite rare to share the same birthday. My mom got quite a gift! It is not a good birthday today. No gifts and I think we made a mistake selling the house for less than the buyout figure from the mortgage company. At least we changed banks for a fresh start there.

(65,187 posts)Just talked to the house buying company. They are understanding. They said they will try to work it out, but if not, they can cancel the sale. I think they act better than my real estate agent friend. So I can enjoy our birthday more now.

I was born on Mother's Day too!!!

My mother was also born on her mother's birthday.

I hope the sale of the house sets you and your mother on a better financial path in the future!
Have a great day.

(65,187 posts)That would be such a relief to us. And another good thing: the house buyers are replacing the water heater so were not responsible for it.
That's $5000 saved. Moving money
