MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Donald Trump didn’t just want to win in New Hampshire, he wanted to beat Nikki Haley so badly that his sole rival for the Republican presidential nomination would drop out before the next competitive contest in South Carolina a month away.
The former president easily bested the former South Carolina governor on Tuesday, but his carefully crafted strategy to drive Haley out of the race fell short, denying Trump the chance, for now, to focus all his attention on Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden and the November general election.
Trump, 77, was full of fury after Haley, 52, vowed in a Tuesday night speech to fight on, just two days after the other leading Republican contender, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, ended his campaign.
Ah okay. I’m glad to hear you were able to buy a house! Idek how I got mine. I was like, “I think I’ll buy a house.” Then had one 6 months later. I do know that getting a USDA loan was a huge factor and the fact my parents let me live with them rent free while saving. The whole experience is a blur at this point though. I think the stress from it all just erased all memory of the process when I was handed the keys. It all happened almost 2 years ago and it still feels surreal. Dunno if I’ll ever get used to it tbh.
lol I feel all that. I was married at the time and my ex wife’s rich aunt and uncle gave us 40k for… reasons? I think they said it was something to do with taxes. Idk. But that with our savings we had enough for a down payment in a conventional. We didn’t qualify for any other programs but it worked out.
6 months later we broke up and I get to keep the house because my salary can afford it. We have an equity agreement in place for when I sell, but it’s a long term recoup for her. Worked out well for me tho
I’m sorry your had to get a divorce. It’s dope you got to keep the house though. When I got my house, relatives gave me so much shit that I don’t have room for instead of money. I didn’t have to buy any furniture myself, which was really nice. My house is only 706 square feet. I have minimal storage as well so some stuff is still boxed until I figure out what tf to do with it. . My uncle did expensive electrical work for free, which was awesome. The seller cut me a check for the work at closing because he didn’t fix shit like he was supposed to. Got an extra $2500 that I used to buy a shed for my ducks lol.
It’s ok. It honestly should have happened a lot sooner, but we were in denial when we bought the house. It’s a long story but buying the house changed everything for us. We’re both a lot happier now, so all good. ❤️
