My racing program is getting a financial boost

If I had stayed in my first house it would have been paid for long ago, but noooo, I had let me first wife talk me into selling it and buying a train wreck of a property out in the sticks. Place was full of mold and uninhabitable. Fortunately for me the seller failed to declare that, and I was able to void the contract. I was homeless though for a couple months until I found something else.
Two and a half years later I caught the ***** cheating and kicked her out, but there was no equity in the property and I was lucky to walk away owing only the realtor fees.
Then the divorce and it's costs, and now I am looking at possibly downsizing to retire a few years early. Probably not going to happen.
