So we've been thinking about buying a house. Mainly because my parents said they would help. I would love to have a house, always have but I don't want to have a high mortgage. Maybe I'm being selfish but my parents could just buy me the house outright if they wanted to. That would be great. I don't think they are going to do it but I can always dream.
I am starting to get second thoughts about it, I'm getting scared. I wish there was a way for me to make extra money.
In the meantime..as usual, I have money woes. I tried paying too much with the tax return and now I'm in a world of hurt. My dad said he was going to send me some cash but that was last week and I still have nothing. ACK! I have 5$ in my pocket.
I just don't know what to do anymore really. Next time I get a bonus and what not. I'm going to pretend it's not there. I'm terrible with money and hubby is even worse.
I feel like a failure. I feel like I can't do anything right. I feel that no matter how good my intentions are, I just am not cut out for all this.
I stayed home today because I was sick yesterday..time to clean.
Hang in there!
Have you thought of asking your parents to buy the house outright then paying on it to them instead of a bank or mortgage company?
I’ve thought about that but not sure how that would work with it being international. That would be a pain to pay 35$ every time to wire money.
I’m trying to hang in there. I’m just really really low today. I feel like a failure as a mom, wife and just a person
You’re not a failure!! Just your worrying about this proves that right there. A failure wouldn’t care what happens to them or their family.
Surely there’s got to be a way around the $35? Of course, I don’t know what country you’re talking about or the rules, etc. A money order wouldn’t work? Those are typically 90¢ from the post office… :\
I’m not sure about a money order. I’m not sure you cash that overseas. But we’ll see. I need to talk to them this weekend before they go off flying to another exotic location for 3 weeks.
