house buying plans

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Plan 1
so i’ve been preapproved for a mortage of X amount.

assuming i borrow the full amount of the mortgage to cover 80% of the house, i am “only” $10,000 short of the 20% down payment needed to pay for the house.

assuming I can save ~$2000 a month, in about 5 months (let’s say 6 to be on the safe side), i’ll have my 20% down payment.

then i can spend my ENTIRE life savings on one stupid house. so that i can start to make ridiculously high monthly payments on that mortgage – (a little more than 50% of my monthly pay check!)

THEN there’s the market i’m looking in… in the 6 months i’m squirreling away my money, i also need house prices to drop another 15% to bring the houses into my range.

sounds like a pretty good plan, eh??

Plan 2
Go rob a bank. That’ll give me whatever I need for a down payment! And if I rob more than 1 bank, I might be able to afford a house in the area I’m looking in!!

ned flanders

how do you balance showing people God’s love and being a pushover? if you try to imitate God and try to treat people nicely, even if they’ve wronged you, and try to forgive them… how do you avoid getting walked all over?

isn’t that what the simpsons are exaggerating with ned flanders?

too much going on…

too many decisions coming up.

too many things to do. and i’m too distracted to focus on things.

weekends are already crammed with stuff. can’t take any days off from work because i’m about to take a 2 week vacation with family in may. which is never as relaxing as it should be!! ’cause then there’s all this work to be done before i leave and then work to come back to. and then there’s the whole family part of family vacation…

i wish i were a little kid again. this time of year is my favorite time of year to play outside! i wish i could just play outside all day long and enjoy the weather. by the time, i’m free again… it’ll be all hot and humid. that’s only good for a water balloon fight. who wants to have a water balloon fight???
