My hubby thinks I am crazy

[sadie612]

So I announced I don't want to live in a house anymore... I mean I am kinda stuck right now but once everything gets straightened out I wanna move to a cute condo, no yard work, small area, no repair bills,less to clean, less to heat and cool and NO YARD WORK!!!!

He thinks I am crazy but then when I mentioned how the utility bills would be a lot cheaper and his commute to work would be a lot shorter he was on board

so am I crazy or just going through a phase

 

[Guard Dad]

Crazy ;D

 

[mei lan]

Depends...well, you are crazy, but perhaps not for this reason. But it depends on if you're one of those people what don't mind livin' next to people. A city folk, IOW. My brother wouldn't mind it at all, and I guess I could do it, but I wouldn't like it. I'd rather deal with the upkeep stuff that comes with a house.

 

[mei lan]

BTW, when I first read that, I thought geez...she wants to live in a thatched hut?

 

[sadie612]

nope, just some place smaller and cheaper... my power bill was almost 400... i am broke after paying that

 

[ShoeDiva]

I hear you on the power bill! Ugh.

I would love to live in a downtown area. Condo, apartment, penthouse!! I used to love when I would stay summers with my aunt in Manhattan and walk everywhere and everything was just there. No yard work and my chores took 5 minutes.

We moved to a duplex with a golf course as our view from the front door. Very quiet, dead end street with a farm at the end and horse pasture behind us. Nice neighbors, no yard work, utilities are MUCH lower and it's only 1.5 mile drive for M to get to work...and for me to get to my work. Best thing we've done for ourselves in a long time!


So, no, you aren't crazy.

 

[Guard Dad]

Not me, I want even more land around me.

 

[mei lan]

Not me, I want even more land around me.

A man after my own heart. My dream is having a house sort of nestled in the mountains in the middle of 500 acres that lie at the end of a little dirt road.

Well, now! If you're talking Manhattan, that's something else entirely!!! NYC is my favoritest city in the world, and I truly think I could live there for awhile, as long as I knew I could escape to the country when I needed to. I think. I LOVE THAT TOWN!!!

I have 10, but would love even more.

It is nice being able to run naked outside if I want to.

Not that I would ever do such a thing...

 

[sadie612]

I grew up on 27 acres and HATED IT!!! So , I have had a lot of land to a small spot of land. I am not to the point of NO LAND hahaha

I love my neighborhood but when Ashlyn goes off to college in 2 years we really want need this big house. I miss our days of the small house.

Yes I do! Downtown or park view, I am not picky! I was born in New York and all my earliest memories are Christmas in the city. Skating, window shopping, broadway, and Santa @ Macys! They are priceless.
