I am thinking about buying a house.
So far I have been living the luxury apartment life. There are advantages to this type of living. It has been great to have someone else be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance. The ability to up and move where ever I want is a plus. The management is responsible for the security and I can live on the top floor away from prying eyes.
Buying a home is something I can afford to do on my own and that makes me proud.
Yes, things would change for me financially and I would have to give up on some female luxuries.
But it is worth it to say "I bought this without assistance and it's all mine"
I just have to make the decision and go for it. I know the benefits are even greater because it would be mine and no one can take it from me, I can own pets, do as I want with it and leave something for my sons.
I will be looking into places as soon as I make a decision on where I want to plant roots.
