How ironic that after trying so hard out of state, I ended up buying a great deal just a few hundred feet from my own home... that was the beginning of my journey, but persistence really paid off.

Ironically, a few months after reading it, I lost an Executive position in 2018 with a company I just relocated for (and worked at for 7+ years with excellent performance).

My mom’s 50 year old house, 20 miles from Minneapolis that needs yearly maintenance with cast iron pipes, wood siding, a single garage and a cracked 50 year old concrete drive way sold for $275k in 1 day.

I definitely feel now I should stay clear of this one, there is a lot of passion in 2nd amendment rights. the ironic thing is that I'm considering to get myself a firearm for protection, so why should I deny anybody to make feel themselves/ family more secure.

The piping system is made up of cast iron and the building has some years on it.

Its kind of ironic that you are asking what steps it takes to be wealthy and people are telling you, yet you keep saying, "No, I want actionable steps".

Someone in charge up there has iron hands that simply pound red tapes and politics to rebuild better ones.

Ironic considering the name of this thread. 

As everything has to "season," like a good cast iron pot.
