Par-a-dox
Pronunciation: 'par-&-"d?ks
Function: noun
1: a tenet contrary to received opinion. 2: a statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true.
(From Merriam-Webster)
Not sure how you defined paradox in relation to my statements. But, no doubt, they stand true for us. I don't think of my situation as a paradox as much as I do a no lose situation for me and my family.
A sale at a high price reaps a huge windfall--enough to finance lots of cool trips, part of retirement, etc. and allows us to rent a palace in SoWal anytime we like. If it doesn't sell at a high price, we are right back to where we started when we originally bought the house-- a really great home in a great location where I don't have to worry about making reservations, checking in, checking out, hauling bikes on the back of my car, packing clothes, etc. I can just pick up and go to the beach anytime I like.
No lose!! :clap_1:
