... you suddenly realize 7 more years have gone by.
Not quite Pink Floyd but still.
For those who may remember, about 7 years ago I posted about my bankruptcy. Well, I was discharged after a year, then 6 years later it all dropped off the credit record. That was June this year. So overnight I went from a credit record like Greece, to a record like Germany.
Today, we exchanged contracts on our own home. It took 7 years but I'm now a home owner again. WHOOT!
