Homeless

March 07, 2005

I don't think it's too early to tell you that I will (most likely) not be buying the loft I was looking at. I was, and I guess still am, in a waiting game. But recently I've gotten an email from the developer and it is just looking like they are going to cost too much. Sure I could afford them, but I don't think I want to dedicate that much of my paycheck to a house when I know I can be paying much, much less, possibly even half.

I like my lifestyle too much to change it. I like being able to go to concerts, buy cd's, go to movies and go to dinner. If I were to get one of those lofts, I doubt I'd be able to do any of that even 5% as much as I do now. My life would completely change. Sure, maybe I'd live in the heart of the nightlife, but I wouldn't have any money to go do anything in it. What would be the point?

So, I'm still on the list to see the available units when they come up, but I really doubt I'll end up getting one.

I've also contacted a couple of friends who are real estate agents and given them an idea of what I'm looking for in a house so they can begin looking for something. I've told them stuff like area, 2-3 bedrooms, 1200-1500 square feet, small yard, garage, hopefully updated and remodeled, etc.

We'll see what happens. I'll keep you posted. In fact, this will probably become a pretty heavy topic on here as I get into the process.
