Not a lot - maybe $27k when it was all said and done after taxes, but considering we didn't have a big nest egg to begin with it was a step in the right direction.

I encourage people to be careful with their money and keep a nest egg in safe investments, and you think they should risk everything because safe investments don't earn high returns. 

Get better cash flow or just move back into it.People are almost always sorry that they took equity out of a nice nest egg.And if the property is in CA, you've locked in your tax base to the purchase price with only around max 2% increase per year, which is really sweet. 

The wire insulation is a good food source and the hood insulation is nesting material.

Yes, we are still in escrow…but after a long and emotional conversation with my fiancee this afternoon, we have decided that although it would be a dream to own this piece of raw land, it just doesn’t make sense to take on a liability at this time in our lives, let alone one that we're 90% excited about.A bit of context: my fiancee and I have a dream of one day owning a chunk of land that we can take care of and build a nest on.

My concern is if I poke the bees nest and cause the inspector to make my life even more miserable in the future.

They don't usually like bright lights, but a mouse may sometimes be seen during the day, especially if its nest has been disturbed or it is seeking food.

I have done a new fridge, Nest thermostat, Ring doorbells, microwave, etc.  

However you could "invest" in real estate by actively flipping or wholesaling, and build that kind of nest egg over that period of time.

They say if we somehow get to 1 million in our 401k or IRA we can take 3.5% of our nest egg and not outlive our money by 88-90 years old.
