Hillary Clinton bought a home next door to hers for secret service to live in because she was so certain she'll be president

Just like the popular saying goes, don't count your chickens before they hatch, but not Hillary Clinton who had so much confidence that she will be US next president that she paid $1.6million for a home in her New York neighborhood so that Secret Service would have a place to live after she was elected president.

The Democratic hopeful told Jane Pauley during an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning over the weekend that she put down the money to purchase her neighbor's home back in August 2016 to make the transition easier come that November but that was not the case. Like you all know, she lost.

I know something about what it takes to move a president and I thought I was going to win,' explained Hillary.

Though she eventually lost the election just three months after she bought the property, Hillary said that she still very much enjoys her second home and even wrote parts of her new memoir 'What Happened' there. 

The memoir will was released on Tuesday. 

On Sunday, Pauley revealed that Clinton wrote the book at the dining room table of her nearby second home, detailing her thoughts on the election she lost to President Donald Trump. 

The three-bedroom home sits on 1.5 acres of land and is just feet away from their own property. With that purchase, the Clintons were also able to establish their Old House Lane homes as a compound and close down the street to local traffic only, with their security detail checking all cars that travel down the road.

I started the campaign knowing that I was going to have to work extra hard to make women and men feel comfortable with the idea of a woman president, the Democratic hopeful said of her prospects in the 2016 race.

It doesn't fit into the stereotype we all carry around in our head. And a lot of the sexism and misogyny was in service of these attitudes like: 'We really don't want a woman commander and chief.

Hillary also said during the interview that she will not be seeking elected office again.

As an active politician, it's over. "I am done with being a candidate.

Hillary will kick off her book tour on Tuesday with a stop at Barnes & Noble in New York City's Union Square.
