Well. Things didn't go as I planned. I put a lot of thought into the purchase of a home and not only have I not found the perfect home, I have decided that I am just not ready to make that big of a step.
There are a lot of factors that have changed my mind, one being that I still have some pretty big bills, my truck payment being one of them, and a credit card that doest ever seem to go down.
Lets say I buy a house in Texas, I don't plan on being in Texas my whole life, who is going to keep an eye on this house, even if it is an investment. What if there is some emergency and I need to be there for, Im not financially in a place where I could take care of it. Not now anyway.
Third reason is... I dont even really want to be living in Texas too much longer. It has been wearing on me and granted I really like it here just dont see myself being here for much longer. The only reason I know I have to be here is for work. I have made a commitment to stay here for another year and I will keep that promise.
Lastly, although this is one of the last and reasons. And dont really want to admit it I think that a special someone is pulling on my heart strings, just a little bit, to keep me motivated to move out of Texas sooner than later. Its funny how in February we talk about, can we keep the long distance going and we say we can if its for a year or so but then I am here trying to buy a house. That doesnt make sense. Maybe I am making a decision from my heart and not my head but I know deep down I am not ready to be a homeowner. Even if I were, I dont think it would be good for me to buy a home in a state I have very few friends, no family and no desire to live in for a long time......
The best thing I could possibly do is to just pay my truck off. Keep making the "payments" back to myself to my savings, then pay off my credit card, keep making that payment and the truck payment back to myself and then start chipping away at those good ol' Student Loans! Ugh!!!
