own a house

University just kicked me in the gut, hard. So many textbooks and a computer. My hours just got cut to one measly shift a week. I’m not saving more than I spend. I’m going belly up. Must. Get. In. Check.

This morning while discussing future plans with my dad he told me that in fifteen or twenty years of hard work and diligent savings I could own my dream house and it’s land. I can’t wait to get a steady form of income and start saving for this! I’ve always wanted to own a house.

I want to own my house fully by the time I’m 45. I want to have it built and moved in when I’m young-ish. Although I’d love to live in the city but it’s just not feasible the amount of $$ for mortgage repayments. Depending if I can get work, I might move back to my home town. Very confusing.

I’m going to still try and put away as much money as I spend on coffee into an account I can’t touch for my house. So starting that as of January 1st.

I want to own my dream home.
