What's it all about..

My last post was mostly about the uncertainty of my future housing interests. This week I visited a condo which was the first one I could see myself calling home, and it fit right into my price range. It was the first time I walked in and didnt have the urge to turn right back around. I had thought that after I had that moment, that my decision would get easier. After a few days of tossing back and forth different options, I am going to take the advice on a recent book I read while on vacation in the Carribean. The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris was something that really gave me a new outlook on what I do on a day to day basis. Without getting much into detail, the book describes what parts of your life are forms of habbit opposed to what we would rather be doing. What does this have to do with my purchase?
The fact is that instead of throwing my hard earned money into a pointless apartment, I've decided to take the plunge and make an offer on the condo I viewed this weekend. I'm tired of paying the pro and con game, arguing with myself and going back and forth doing nothing but stressing myself out. The exact opposite of what I decided to do after reading the affor mentioned book on my carribean vacation. My moment of epiphany in the blue waters of the carribean sea, and I told myself I would come back and take the risk, make the moves, so that I didn't have to wait long to get back there.
So my decision? The reasoning is all about where I want to be, and I know pissing money away to a landlord isn't going to get me back to the carribean any faster than taking the risk with this condo. Easy as that.
