[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 722562, member: 1963"] Depending on what sort of business he is in, he may have faced sharp reversals in the last few years. But the housing market hasn't collapsed yet, he could get good money for his place, downsize and be comfortable. I do know where Barrington Hills is. I actually had a client for dog-sitting there when I first got back stateside. Unfortunately, one of their cops decided my old Toyota hatchback didn't belong in that neighborhood and told me to leave..IMMEDIATELY, even when I gave them the name of the family, their address, and the names and breeds of the two dogs I was supposed to be sitting for. I had to drive back home, call them, and have them call the blasted police so my 1984 Toyota Tercel Hatchback would be allowed to lower the property values for a week. The house was gorgeous, the dogs were spoiled brats, and neighbors kept calling the police on "the junker parked in the XXX's driveway". It wasn't a junker. It was well taken care of tiny car, but obviously not the sort of thing one who could afford to live in Barrington Hills would be caught dead near, let alone in. Sort of turned me off of the whole "Barrington thing". [/QUOTE]
