Digerati, the money and personal finance blog from Silicon Valley (where the computer gods live), rates buying a home as one of the most common stressful financial events that you should prepare for.
It is. I would have rated it higher... maybe right under losing a job, or launching a business.
I'm sure it's less stressful than other things... say like being kidnapped by the mob and having your fingernails pulled out slowly with pliers. Or sticking toothpicks in your eye. So, there's that.
We've looked at so many houses, and I have to tell you that people do the strangest things to their houses. Paint colors and wall papers, carpets... that's all the small stuff. I can't even begin to tell you all the strange things we've looked at in houses that would have been perfect, except for _________.
Oh, and we've survived making an offer on a short sale, which takes a LONG TIME... contrary to its name, which is very misleading.
All that being said, I think we've found the one. The One. Yay! More news to follow.
Is moving on that list of stresses? Yes, relocating. Yikes.
Wow, this is sort of like an emotional rollercoaster.
Hey, at least I don't have one of the top stressful jobs on the list. Number one is President of the United States.
Over and out,
