She is the host of HGTV's Property Virgins and she always has good advice for people who are trying to buy their first home. Recently, I realized that I will soon need to become VERY serious about saving money in order to buy my first place. It has been a dream of mine to become a homeowner for ... probably about 8 years.
Ever since I saw the light at the end of the tunnel with school, my next dream was to find out whether home ownership is really all it's cracked up to be. I almost got sidetracked a couple times with thinking it would be easier to wait until I find a suitable guy to marry and then buy a place together, but in the end, I want this to be my decision and my burden alone. This is a hugely important decision and I want to feel empowered enough to make it myself without the input or distraction of another person.
The romanticism of buying a home together is still very appealing, but there will be time for that one I figure this out for myself, for me, for my future. This is my goal, and as it should stay.
I know I won't be able to afford a huge house or anything fancy, but that's ok. I think. ;0)
Wish me luck!!!
