I'm almost officially a first time homebuyer. Almost, as I'm still in the 7-day period to rethink my decision and work out the little details. I have until Monday to take back my deposit. This little home is perfect. It'll be completed at the perfect time - in almost 2 years time, when I think I will actually be ready to leave my parents' house, and also when I will be financially stable enough to do so.
In the last few days, I keep realizing how lucky I am. Lucky to have parents that taught me to handle my financials since a young age, parents that forced me to start working as soon as I'm legal, parents that supported my education, and to have a full time job now... all contributing to my little efforts in getting my own place now. I really think it is something to be proud of. My parents have helped me every little step along the way, but to be able to buy my first home at 23 with my own money? That even scares me a little.
Ahhhhh, so excited! *jumps around*
