Making a big change in my life
5 years ago
~ Thoughts from the mind of a wolf ~
Well It's time I got this out, I'm about to have a huge responsibility yet a huge goal that alot of people are doing right now. I had to make a leap of faith and this will change my life for the good.
I'm going to be a first time house owner. Yes I got approved for a house that I looked at and in the process of getting it. Over the years of not going to cons and other things I've been saving. With everything going on right now in the world, yes it's a scary move but the house market was good and thought it was time. I may not go to a con for a while yet, I'm paying my car off this month and getting a new life. I also don't like where I live anymore, It's gotten pricey and it's noisy with the people around.
I'm also gonna be 38 next month. I want to move on in my life, I want be able to pay the house before I retire if I plan to keep this house or move in 6 years it depends whats happen out there. For what the house offered and what it looked like I jumped on it. It's with in my means to afford it and paying less then what I pay rent. I'm ready for the responsibility for whats coming in the future. I want to learn bout having a house, how to fix it and how to improve it over the years, but more importantly...having a peaceful life.
It'll be a while till I go to a con, I have to budget and see what I can afford, one con a year for sure. My job's pick up, it's getting busier and hopefully I'll get to train someone soon.
I never thought I get a house, but it's happen, and I'm excited but nervous some. It really does get better in life, when you at least expect it. I hope this happens for everyone else, hope you all get what you want what your working so hard for. Don't lose hope, all is not lost even if it does feel that way. I've been there and so have many, you just have to keep strong.
I'll be very busy but I'll be in touch when I'll get the house and when I'll start moving in. After that I'll be gone for a while getting my stuff back up.
Thank you all very much for your support, as always be safe, sleep well, take care of your self's and keep putting up the good fight.

That's very understandable about wanting to buy your own place at your age and wanting it paid off by retirement. I was about that same age back in 2013 when I bought this place, because I wanted something to show for my life and wanted to be the one who makes decisions about repairs, renovations, things to bring in or get rid of, and who to let move in (lots of bad experience in the past with bad roommates that someone else made the decision to let move in). It's so much better buying your own place because you can sell it and typically get back the money you put into it, and when you're renting a place, no matter how long you live there you're never any closer to owning it.
Fixing things and improving the place can be figured out just by doing it. Some things are common sense and can be done with basic skills, and more complex things can be learned by reading books, watching instructional videos on youtube, and even asking for advice from someone you know who has the skills or is a professional. For certain things like electrical work or plumbing (water, septic, or gas lines) which can have catastrophic consequences if they're done wrong, if you are not completely comfortable doing the work then definitely get a pro on the job.
I'm really happy for you, man. Please keep us posted how it goes!
Sure, you'll have to fix stuff. All houses need stuff fixed. Also remember, you can decorate it and paint it any way you like it and will have to answer to no one.
Best of wishes to you!
Congratulations on getting your own place Kenova! *hugs* :3
