Apartment? House? Stay? Go? AHHHH!!!!!!!

Well, the title of this post is pretty self explanatory! I can't figure out what to do!!!! We anticipated getting in to some apartments quite close to where we are living and were looking forward to that move. The other day something happened to make me question whether or not it would take place. So, I started freaking out and we began another search for a new place to live. After hitting upon another scam (this would be 3 for us in less than 2 months), we found a GORGEOUS house. Three car garage, 4 bedrooms, a huge kitchen, den, living room, family room, formal dining, top of the line appliances, granite, etc. It is fantastic and at a great price for the home. We decided to take it. I slept last night dreaming about where to put everything but also fretting about things. I woke up worrying about spending so much more money on a home that I don't own, additional finances, etc. So, James and I decided to stay where we are but to move in to a different apt at the same complex. They informed me that I would have to pay another deposit plus more money as a transfer fee. Hello! The only reason we would be transferring apartments is because of the mold in the apartment from them not taking care of the flooding problem correctly! I informed them that we would be moving and she quickly told me to come back when the manager was there. I stormed out of the office, reminded of one of the reasons that we wanted to move in the first place! Can I just say that this whole thing has not been fun?! The answer to the question in the title is: Go! However, not in to the beautiful home (sniffle) but in to another apartment. If the 3 bedroom is not available we will be moving in to the 2 bedroom until the 3 bedroom is available (hopefully by August at the very latest). Seeing as how the kids and I will be in Salt Lake for that time, it should not be a problem. However, when we come back if we are still in the said 2 bedroom it will be interesting, to say the very least.

Trust yourself. When it is time for a house, one will come. I live in a very small home and would never upgrade to bigger and better because I promised myself I would never be house poor. The first 10 years of our marriage we moved 13 times. When we bought this, our first home I planted trees!

Well, we ended up taking the house. It really is a good price (we did not buy, only rent). it ended up only being $150 more with everything than the apt was and it is twice the space. I agree with you about being house poor. Totally not worth it. 13 times in 10 years! wow!!!!! I HATE moving! lol
