As you may or may not know, I've had a goal since coming back here to Seattle which has been dubbed (in my head) as HH30: Husband or House by the age of 30. I've put all of my savings in CDs and I've been putting 25% of every paycheck to a savings account which I named "House" to help with the process of making this goal a reality.
I initially wanted a two-story house, but quickly changed my mind to a rambler instead. There's only one me and I don't want to scrub two toilets every month. That's how logical I am when it comes to decision-making. HaHa!
Last month, the house across the street from one of my kuyas went up for sale. When I saw the flyer, I almost fainted at the price: I didn't realize that's how much houses are going for these days. But even then, I do know that if I want to buy a house, it should be done within this year...while the market is down.
Today, I went online to check out houses for sale in the neighborhood and found some nice ones below $300,000. This is actually do-able. Well, I'll be a slave for 30 years until the mortgage gets paid off, but hey, anything to display my City Mugs prominently is all worth it. ;P
So while people my age are getting married and having babies, I'll settle for the white picket fence for now. Saka na yung 2.5 kids...kapag ready na si Piolo. ;P
aba talaga naman at hinihintay mo si Piolo. eh paano yan marami rin ang naghihintay sa kanya? hahaha
ReplyDeleteI think SoCal has the highest prices as far as real estate is concerned. Baka ang 300,000 eh condo or townhosue pa lang. Okay lang my sister and mine's main concern is a big kitchen space for her business. The rest of the house can be small hahaha. Me progress na baka ikatuwa mo. =P
Congrats sa house Mina! Grown-up na talaga. :D
ReplyDeleteButi ka pa, mahihintay mo si Piolo, di ko na nahintay at nag-asawa na ako. hehehe
Rai: Wala akong pakialam kung maraming naghihintay kay Piolo; basta akin siya. HaHa!
ReplyDeleteOo no, milyones ang mga bahay diyan. Hindi ko kaya.
Progress? Progress na ikakatuwa ko or ikakatuwa ng lovelife ko? HaHa!
Ate Jen: Puwede mong i-divorce na lang si Kuya Da Pogi kapag naging lalake na si Papa Pi. ;P
