So today I opened my dedicated savings account for my future home. I was a little nervous. Why you may ask? I've taken the first step; I've laid the first stone; I took the path least followed; whatever you call it I am on the path to homeownership! There is literally no turning back now. If I chicken out, I lose the money I'm investing. I'm committed to doing this.
I remember when I was younger and driving through upstate New York with my dad, he made it a point to let me know that owning a home was an important thing to do. Now as an adult, I can totally see what he means. There is nothing wrong with renting. But there is something about paying a mortgage that gives you control over your place. Instead of giving your money to another home owner, YOU are the home owner!
Over the next several months, I'll be updating this blog as often as possible to keep you up to date on my journey to homeownership. I got the idea from a friend and I found her blog incredibly helpful and inspirational. I hope that this blog will serve a similar purpose to you all. If you'd like to donate to my road to homeownership, here's the link ;-). See you soon!
