Do you have friends or family in the area? That’s what helped us a lot – talking to them and asking them a million questions :) We also drove around to all the schools to get a better idea, although of course looks can be deceiving (some of the nicer looking schools aren’t so great here, while some of the more dilapidated ones are!). If you don’t know anyone there, maybe you can find some local facebook or similar groups? Maybe nextdoor.com?! There’s gotta be a way to get plugged in and talk to people who live there… I always prefer that vs the rating sites, but then again I didn’t poke around too much on them so not sure how great or not they are. Wishing you loads of luck either way!!

Im trying to find good k12 for my boy but dont know where to look. I know greatschools.org has rating but i dont know if that rating is reliable.
We plan to move to california and pick the good school for our family to settle down.

Haha… Maybe we can race our mowers one day together?! ;) Mustered up the courage to finally try mine the other day and wow did it go faster than expected!

Not sure if you said how big your yard was but a zero turn will cut your time by 1/3rd. Although, you cant drink a beer and ride a zero turn…

Nothing was bad about renting!! I wanted to keep on doing it! :)

Weird about the emails stopping, sorry to hear that :(

Here’s the sign up page to get them again if you want to re-sign up and see if that fixes it?

P.S.
after you sold rockstar finance I stopped getting email updates from you I thought you had sold this site as well. Happy that you’re still writing J$!

Thanks C$ :)

Mowed the lawn for the first time the other day and actually wasn’t too bad!

You should have seen me on that riding lawnmower acting as if I were a cowboy, hahahahha….

You can go pretty fast in those things!

I’m around Houston, Texas where home ownership is just outright cheaper than renting (even with all the maintenance and stuff), but I can feel your hesitation from here. *HUGS*.

I guess just concentrate on all of those child smiles and wife love. :-D And pay it off as fast as possible so you don’t feel as weighed down. I hope you’ll love it when it becomes cheaper than renting. ;-)

Good luck, dude.
