called my mom, i'm thinking of buying my first home... just something small for about the same amount my room mate and i are paying in rent. i've already talked to a few mortgage people and pre-qualified for a loan so i know my price range and what i can do with my budget. soon as i said anything to my mother she laughed at me. how nice.....
i've been doing my research, and thinking this through logically, but i have a bad track record with rash decisions. i'm 24 and have a limited budget like most my age and i'd just like to have home with out a creepy land lord or moving every year. i don't feel i need to travel to find myself anymore because i realize no matter where i go, i'll be there. no matter where there will be people, things to do, and everything i can find right here or different versions... here i have family and i kind of like being able to visit them every few weeks. i'd just really like to have a home i can come back to. i want to travel just as much as ever but as much as i hate to admit it thinking it would make me less cool inside my own head, i like nesting. having a home, staying in one place. a constant. that's why i wanted to have trailer or mobile home of sorts and travel with all my stuff... but i have a lot of stuff, and it's good stuff too! plus honestly if i'm in a place longer than a week i miss being in an area i know. i can take a bed with me in a trailer, which is a nice idea but when i think it out i like not changing more. trips would be fun. but with a home i'd at least be paying towards something than just throwing money down the drain on rent. plus i could finally paint my walls! i dream of wall colors, and living in a creative home, that's what i really dream of. i'm a huge dork that just wants a home. so now to raise a down payment... since all my mom did was laugh at me. that stung. normally things that she does don't, but ow... the first time i'm actually thinking about life in a mature way and i got laughed at.
