The Boot-Strap Expat – Shit Happens – A Status Update

Being a Project Management Geek for over twenty years, I appreciate that reality seldom conforms to plans. As jaded as I've become in my old age, I still am surprised when tasks take longer than expected. Why? Because I've managed so many projects that I know what is likely to go wrong, or take longer than anticipated. Liquidating Assets for example;  I'm selling almost everything I own to fund this Boot-Strap Expat adventure and I never pay retail for anything – I purchase most of what I need at auction or second hand to assure I get the most value for my currency. And I'm liquidating these items for approximately what I paid for them, so others can benefit from my bargaining skills.  When I created my project plan for the Boot-Strap Expat Adventure, I figured I'd be able to sell most of my belongings over three weekends. Yet after three weekends I've only banked about $700.00 while most of my antiques and collectables remain in stock. So it seems that I'll still be shuckin' and jivin' my wares come Thanksgiving weekend, five weeks from now. (click on the image to see detail)...
