I have long been thinking about delving back into the great big world of home ownership!
I'm a single girl. I'm scared. Plus I have a pretty pimp apartment, spacious, beautiful, and only 6 miles away from work. One mile from my hair salon. Centrally located to every important thing in my life. I've become pretty happy here.
And then, my ideal duplex neighbors moved out. And I have spent the last year of my life cursing the day my new neighbors moved in. They are in their early 20's..not ideal neighbors in any situation.
I hate them. I find myself talking about their asshole-ness out loud when I am home alone. I complain about them at work. I facebook their dick moves. They annoy me on a daily basis, and I can no longer consider my home my peaceful sanctuary!
I read a very timely quote this week that read "never wait until you have enough money to have kids or buy a house it will never happen".
I've always said this apartment was my last stop before home ownership. I have moved a billion and one times, and I am not moving, only to move again.
I'm done waiting on "the one" to come along so we can buy our dream house. It's the millenium, who needs a man? I'm a 38 year old successful single lady, and I'll buy my own dream house. I'll enjoy everything there is to about being a home owner, and stop worrying about the negative parts. Things always work themselves out.
I'm getting all of my ducks in a row, because for real this time... I am going to buy a house! I am looking at a pretty sizeable stock payout this fall, and with that, and all the work I have been doing on my credit score, I will be ready.
I knew that 2014 was going to be my year, and when I achieve my goal, I'm leaving those asshole neighbors a thank you card...because they are the last straw that forced me to finally get off of my ass, and start planning my future!
Not to mention, I've promised Mr. Magoo a doggie companion upon said home ownership..and he's pretty excited!
Here's to another big adventure! I couldn't be more motivated!

You. Can. Do. This!
I bought my condo when I was 39. I was tired of paying someone else's mortgage and it was time. It's so nice to know that in retirement I'll have a place to live in for free (cuz it will be paid off by then).
So do it :)
Do it, do it, do it! I would if I could afford it. I've moved 20 times in 19 years & it's really boring isn't it? Move one more time and give you and your little fur darlings some stability. Just make sure you have no neighbours!
