Default Re: Dilemma - Perfect House But Not Ready to Buy

JohnN,

We seem to be in agreement about the process of decisions about money.

I can sometimes go on a bit when I get into these threads about financial decisions. I try to resist these threads. But I cannot. And sometimes I even start them.

But I always know that my own financial decisions credo really has only two sentences in it: What is the cost of sleep? & Never borrow money that you don't have.

But hey, that's me. And sometimes I can be pretty boring on the subject. But I don't claim to have never made mistakes with financial decisions. In the 90's, I danced a little while with the tech bubble. But I have had a longtime love affair with real estate.

If we buy in TV, it will be a second home and we don't want to rent it. All of the things you say about empty houses play into our decision, too.

We live and learn. And we are all so different in how we approach these things.

I can philosophize for a while longer because we are not quite ready in other ways to move to TV. Time will tell.
