25. She bought a small house in Alamo Heights

Sep 2019

Near San Antonio, its the rich neighborhood her neighbor across the street has a mansion but on her side is the only 4 small houses. She spent more and property tax is huge but schools are great.

She now sees downside as she has zero in common with the richies. Her husband is in military he is officer in Air Force. They are out in less than 2 years and her husband likes the low prices in Texas, he is all about money.

She seems to like it there, I hate the weather myself but I have always lived on west coast.

I read her recent essay for a ethics class (last class for CPA) and she took a liberal position on stakeholders. I notice the more she is into yoga and mindfulness lately the more she leans to the left.

Money is the only thing and like most they don’t make enough for it to matter.
