When I started this topic thread. I wasn't sure where I wanted to go. Ultimately I wanted to convey that I have had some life hanges. The unknown of what to come is the most difficult transition. We all want items in life. What we attain is not always what is wanted, but what we need. The need can still reflect the want and fulfill the happiness in life and family.
Can I afford it?
The easy answer is normally: I think I am going to wait.
Life changes?
Changes can cause anxiety. These changes are not fun.
In realirty, waiting is not always the best decision. It is natural to want the 5 Bedroom home with the 3 car garage and pool. It is normal to want the Vehicle you want. So on and so forth. In reality we need the 3 Bedroom home with 2 car garage or carport with the Mid-Size SUV for the family. We have to do what is needed more than what we want.
The answer in reality is we can afford what we need. The home may just need upgrades or repairs prior to the next move or to satisfy the current desire. Buy the vehicle instead of replacing parts every other month. When things get old we all want new. Sometimes upgrades and a replacement is called for to keep our happiness moving forward. Career changes like the one I have recently made can be uncomfortable but necessary for the path we want to be on.
Afterall, we all want to just be happy in life. I encourage people to make the decisions that are going to mke them happy. Buy the vehicle you need but have it fit your liking. Get the home that fits your famillies needs so you have your happy home. Take the vacation you want to go on.
Life is all about making the affordable choice and finding your happiness. Sometimes you have to smooth the edges on adjustments, but you will always have your happiness in mind.
Be happy!!
