[quote=flyer]Glad to hear you held off, AN. Wise move. I’m sure you’re really counting your blessings on that decision.
In the end, life really boils down to the fact that we all have only “X” number of years on earth, and we all want to spend them living our “dream scenario” as long as possible.
That has been my goal since before I finished college, and, it seems to have worked out. Although I know trying to live your dreams is more challenging these days, it can still be done, and I wish you the best![/quote]
Oh, yeah, I’m counting my blessings everyday. Looking back, there’s no way I could be anywhere close to where I am today financially if I would have bought in 2005. However, looking at the past, if I’m 10 years older, my financial position would have been so much better, even if I didn’t do one thing different. I know people who sold their .com stocks during the .com bubble to buy their multi-million dollar home in RSF, just because it’s the right time in their life to move up. They had no idea that .com crash is coming or that we’ll see a RE bubble. They just do it, because they’re at the point in their life to do those things. It’s just their life coincides with the economic cycle. So they reap the benefits. I guess that’s just reiterating your point about being at the right place at the right time. Some people have all the luck while others, would have to constantly avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
