Sometime in early May, a friend of mine who recently moved out of state and left her country house behind told me she lowered her selling price. This was significant because one, I had encouraged her to buy that country house and two, I spent several weekends at that house. I loved that house. I knew her original asking price which was completely out of my range but this lowered price had me thinking of going the 'buy your second house first' route. Years ago I had ordered brochures from Fannie Mae on how to buy a home because I was clueless. I apparently am still clueless.
I've decided to weave the experience of my entry into the NY marathon into this blog because by Nov 2, I will have finished the marathon and become a homeowner. Or not.
Two frightening prospects as they represent significant life goals of mine to reach 'by the age of 35.' I will revisit goals as well soon. Did I mention all of this is being witnessed by a new significant other, yet another frightening prospect in my life. I suspect this will all be a lesson in humility.
Right now, I'm in an ironic detox mode to get into the mindset for the marathon. In the meantime, please visit www.mint.com. A very noble website on mastering personal finance.
