All of the bills associated with owning your own home are very scary, but it's nice to own something.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699594650305506763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-11315278556097264602011-08-07T12:43:55.811-07:002011-08-07T12:43:55.811-07:00Congrats!

I know it's scary, but you'll be amazed at how happy you are to eat rice & beans in your own place!<br /><br />It is scary, since I'm going through similar "eek" moments as I realize we're less than two weeks from closing and I still owe the lender a ton of documents, which she reminded me about the time I took off on a plane to San Diego. Yargh.<br /><br />I guess the cost of living (and housing) is far more expensive than in Phoenix. Most places are. So we're lucky to be getting in on some VERY depressed property prices. And we're getting a fixer-upper. But the point is you'll have your own place and your budget WILL adjust to the extra expense. I can't explain how, maybe it just gets easier. But you won't live on rice and beans forever.<br /><br />Or, if your cold feet continue, we can all cross our fingers for the seller to be temporarily seized by the notion that she can't sell and cancel the transaction. So then you'd even get some moolah out of the transaction!Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043674506776005070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-6700511607395567622011-08-02T06:21:28.672-07:002011-08-02T06:21:28.672-07:00Congratulations!

Glad you were able to shell-game it and rustle it up. I hope you enjoy your new residence and I'm sure you're not really going to be sawing a bean in half with a knife and fork. I foresee better days ahead for you!444https://www.blogger.com/profile/18317761558076527630noreply@blogger.com
