Homeowners

Today, my wife Adri and I officially became homeowners! Proud parents of a 2 bedroom apartment. Very exciting stuff – but also very scary. This is by far the longest term financial obligation we have ever or probably will ever, entered into. The numbers seem manageable when you put them on a piece of paper, but we will see how we feel about that when the first repayment comes out of the bank account.

Thankfully, no more rent!! Woohoo! =)

Woo Hoot indeed. Mu hubby and I also became home owners, also a two bedroom unit in October. It is scary but good to know that it's not going on rent anymore. What is even more scary is seeing that you have hardly made a dent in the payments even though heaps of money comes out - BECAUSE they slap a whole bunch of interest on before taking out the monthly payment.

Didn't get to meet you at Sam and Soph's wedding and wasn't even sure which one you were....

Hey nixter

yeh it is scary seeing the VERY big number in the account - haven't made the first payment yet and not looking forward to waving good by to our hard-earned.

I was the blond one in the bridal party.
