More on condo

My life has been nothing but about my condo. I talk to the lender one minute, then my agent, then my parents. It all revolves around “money.” You would not think money is so important until you buy a place. One minute is the interest rate, the other minute is bargaining for a lower price, etc. The seller and I have been bickering over $1500!! In the end, the two agents got annoyed and decided to chip in to make up the difference. Go agents. Then there were all these paper work as to how to cut up the money. Apparently, they can’t just write me a check for the difference and I put it into my downpay, we need to put it into an escrow account and it’s considered a concession. The other way to go around it was to just have the seller sells it for less and pay less commission to the agent. This way she saves $52! Can you believe it, we are down to less than $100 difference and the old lady is still pondering?! My parents were ready to cut a check the moment she heard both of us are unwilling to budge, but to my defense, the old lady is only going down from her asking price by $500!! That is nothing in the whole scheme of things.

I am definitely going crazy just thinking about the place. It would be so cool to have my place, but at the same time kinda scary. I have never bought anything big before. This is like my first big big purchase. One good thing about it is that I can have a party, do anything I want to the place and it will be ok since it’s mine. On the other hand, I can’t really do much to the place because all my money is sucked into the place. What a dilemma huh? I should just be independently wealthy. That would solve all my problems. Then I can just have everyone do what I want to the place. I hope I will never default on the place. It’s weird having to pay out so much of my paycheck just for a place. It’s only one thing, but it will just suck me dry.
