The Waiting Game

the mortgage has been approved, the conditions on our offer to purchase have been removed, deposit has been paid, now we wait for the mortgage documents to go to the lawyer. Apparently we don't sign on the dotted line until 2 weeks prior to our possession date; it's gonna be a long couple of months..


We have made dozens of budgets and plotted out a "pay day" calendar for the rest of the year, so that we...eh hem...I can rest assured that we will NOT be house poor. That being said, my new mantra is, "we'll be just fiiiiiiine." And we will. The amount that we were pre-approved for was $70,000 higher than what we actually ended up buying, so that in itself dictates a comfortable future.


Anyhoo, I think I'm going to slap a "rant" label on this post and call it a night!
