so i am doing better since my little chick died. i stil havent cleaned up his cage though but i'm getting closer to that. i keep putting it off. DocSparrow thinks we should get another bird soon but i dont think i can yet. i still miss mine and i just want a break before finding one. my bird kind of chose me so i want the same relationship with a new one.
i am currently losing my mind over the condo. i think we are definately closing on the 29th but you never know. i just found out yesturday that i have to put another $1000 down which really makes me nervous. thats eating into my cushion pretty significantly and i'm scared now.but that thousand is what stands between me being a home owner so i guess i will have to cough it up! its just so crazy how things change everytime i blink. i need to sell my bike and get my tax return and then i will be fine. January is a slow month for hairstylists and i'm freakin about it. i will definately need the money. my mortgage wont be much more than what i was paying for rent at home but that was still kindof tight. i was taking alot out of my savings just to do anything so i might be a prisoner to my home! i guess there a worse things. at least it'll be to my home not my moms.lol
i feel bad leaving my mom. she is pretty upset about it. i wont be far but i know this is killing her. she is happy for me but she is really lonely with everything going on with my dad and i know my leaving isnt helping. but its to awkward with her bringing boyfriends around. i feel stupid and i guess its just time. i think she understands but it still sucks. i hate leaving her alone. i always feel so bad.

But, congrats on the condo. Real estate is still a super bargain, so I'm sure you got a nice deal. As you spend that extra $1,000, remember that real estate is an INVESTMENT, in addition to your living space. It is real equity, so you are simply transferring your liguid equity, (Cash), to an illiquid equity, (Condo).
Real estate historically has a great return on investment, so in the long run this will benefit you financially in addition to being your own place, (it helped me as I dumped my life's savings into this place).
And about your Mom, just be there whenever you can. I just moved much closer to my parents and I really enjoy hanging with them. Pop in, hang out, get pizza, drink beers, root on The Bears...
