I feel your pain Dean, I sometimes feel like the world is against me when it comes to moving forward with my plans. A series of circumstances including the pandemic has meant a 3-4 year investment has already been 7 years and I expect it will at least another year. -Cost of debt financing having massive impact on private equity investment and guessing we need to get through both the US and elections before financial markets settle down. But have far too much invested both financially and emotionally to walk away.
Yes, feels similar to me and my position too. Seems so close and yet so far away all at the same time. One single person could literally change our lives overnight and forever. The last 4 years have been extremely difficult, painful and expensive in so many ways. I'm sure we are far from alone in this.
I am yet to give up the fight although at times it would have been inordinately easy and justified to do so. Lets hope things do improve but I fear and am planning for the worst. If it doesn't continue along the path of where I think it goes then great....bonus. On my head stone it will say.....'He was one of life's triers' I'm sure.
I wish a good outcome and soon for you
