I am about 8 months into my self improvement and have been trying to exercise at least 3 times a week and usually run at least 3 miles when I do. 

The law firm that has been doing my settlements has been good to me, but I think they dropped the ball on this and I should recoup some of these costs on account of their lack of due diligence.

wow, lots of good feedback, thanks - glad I went through this exercise@Logan & Kim*For insurance, I estimated $50/month, it sounds like i'll have to increase that (i'll bump it to $100/month)@Gabe*For the operating expenses, instead of saying 50%, I grouped it a little differently.  

I want to organize and host big, fancy charity balls with $10,000 VIP tables & a red carpet where CEOs take pictures with the big check their companies donated to (insert NPO). 

I've sent email notice as you suggested hopefully we can get the ball rolling now!

And, you tell them, that since you are truly there to help solve their problem, you will exercise the contract yourself if you can't find a buyer!

If you find a strategy that works, mine the **** out of it but me mindful to keep learning and exercising other strategies so that you are more diversified and well rounded.Just some food for thought.PS.  

When an option is not exercised and expires both sides have gotten what they agreed to at that point.

Oklahoma's laws are a little different than most states from what I gather.I've been an avid reader of this site for a year or so and my wife and I are ready to get this ball rolling.

And of course, I can exercise patience if the right deal isn't there.
