The Secret To Making Those 'Big Decisions'


Lesley and I looked at a new housing development today.

It is one hour's drive away from where we currently live.

Let me ask you this question....

Would you swap a 1930's 3 bedroom, one bathroom terraced house for an as yet unbuilt 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom detached house without having to increase your mortgage?

You bet you would!

Well...that's the 'dilemma' facing us at the moment. Should we stay or should we go?

Isn't it funny how we put obstacles in the way when we are weighing up pros and cons?

Sure...because of Connor - we have a few more logistical problems (OK - a lot!) more than most...but the biggest 'excuse' we have come up with so far is that we would rather Katie moved during the summer break.

Yet - to do that it would probably cost us in the region of $10,000 when price rises and therefore additional taxes are taken into consideration!

Phew!

But...I have a secret when it comes to these 'big' decisions.

I did it for our very first house when we looked at the prospect of having to totally redevelop it - and I did the same when we bought this house from my sister when we hadn't set foot in it for 6 months!

Want to know what it is?

I just go with my gut feeling. My instinct...my sense of what is right.

On every occasion I have been proved right - despite each decision at the time being a seriously big financial step.

And so it will be with this one.

Somehow - we must find $20,000 to pay as a deposit to the developers of the new house BEFORE we get the sale proceeds from this one!

At the moment - I haven't the faintest idea how I will raise it.

But....I will find a way - my instinct will see to that!

Remember - just because you can't always touch the 'evidence' - it doesn't mean that its contribution isn't valuable.

I'll prove it in April next year when I am sitting in my new house!
