We all make choices in our lives that end up dictating the paths we take.
For me, it was my passion for social work that had a lot to do with the way my life panned out.
By and large, it’s worked out well. I love the work I do and I work in a nicely appointed and HVAC maintained office. Plus, I even met my wife through my job. However, one drawback of what I do for a living is the salary. This is definitely not a field to get into if you are looking to get rich. The salary is okay but I had to deal with apartment life for far longer than I had ever expected to. That means many more years of loud neighbors and inadequate heating and cooling. However, that chapter of our lives is now over. But we are still not quite to the finish line just yet. The house we were able to afford came with a lot of needs. And since we are on a tight budget, we are the renovation crew. In fact, we are living in a camper just outside the house that we are renovating. We have a space heater in the camper and will hopefully be out of the camper before the heat of summer hits. In fact, we are getting our new HVAC equipment in the next week or so. The HVAC company is coming out to replace the heat pump and that will go a long way toward making our house a home. It’s going to be a dream come true to actually own our own house and live together comfortably thanks to good heating and cooling.
