How many 'new home' builders are not doing the mortgage thing? I have had little positive response from people when they ask who we're getting the mortgage with; when we say we won't have one, most respondants inform us it's better to have one then have money left over to spend on other things.
That we won't get the house we want due to self-imposed financial restrictions.
That we are moving from a prestigeous area (Mont Albert) to a lower-income area (Tarneit) and life won't be the same (well, I know THAT, but is it a negative thing?).
That....well, apart from one friend here, all we are getting is how wrong it is to do what we're dong and having the mortgage from hell is far better than being debt-free and in an area where "no-one will visit us as the trams don't go out there".
*sigh*
Just venting. Ick.
