So I have seriously been looking at a house and seriously exploring my options since Im WELL FREAKING AWARE of how big of a step this is; especially as a single mom/no child support or any kind of financial assistance. As soon as I starttt to believe I can do it, someone rains on it with one of the phrases: home owning is expensive [maintenance], its a big step (and subtly hint somehow I should wait til theres a significant other) or fear me, theres a major repair, change in interest, or some other major costly things. Facts are: all of that is real, and Im already aware through horror stories and witnessing remodeling/major repairs in my family, all different from the other. Also, I love my job, I love this town, and I can see myself being here a very long time. I love my condo and its conveniences (despite my POS upstairs neighbor), but its a temporary fix seeing that a large portion of my monthly paycheck is going to someone elses investments, not mine. And Im not going to wait for someone to come into Alexis and my life to make this step. Ive done everything else on my own, why stop here?! I refuse to wait while she hurries to grow up on me. I would love to have her growing-up memory making in a house I can live in for MANY years. I wont jump in if I cant do it (financially). Im not the impulsive type either, and actually a pretty well-trained pessimist and have pictured everything that could go wrong. That be said, let me handle and create the negativity; Im good at it! Feed a girl a little positivity to balance it out. Dont want to feel hopeless when its a possibility. Sorry, a lot on my mind *big exhale* :)
