Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: recognizing time versus financial investment in early days

[Elizabeth Magill (pastorlizm]

We all gave radically different amounts of time and radically
different amounts of money to our project.

That continues to be true after move-in.

My personal pearl of wisdom is that I need to not give more money or
more time if I'm going to be mad about it later. Not that I'm *good*
at that, but that is my goal.
