Thanks for the props sduuuude, the egomaniac inside of me is gushing. But I think the OP will be fine, as of this moment he beat all of his neighbors, maybe one, maybe two come in after him and beat him, but maybe not. For all the bashing 4S gets, people love it, people with money especially love it. I concur, get some sleep, you did good holding out and you only get so many years on the planet so enjoy some of them.
Since it’s late and I have a penchant for analogies, let me make one about holding out for the best possible price and the best possible woman. For 8 years I held out for the perfect woman (not that dating imperfect ones was any great chore, no pity party needed) but I found myself finding flaws or forecasting problems and ending relationships. Then it hits me, just find one that makes you happy, hold on and enjoy the ride. There is no perfect house, there is no absolute bottom, there are no guarantees that there will never be a drop in value or a rise in value, just get you what you want at a price you can afford and enjoy the ride. Because there is no perfect woman, there will be bad days, there will be a difference of opinion, there will be bigger boobs, their will be a prettier face and there will be a more pleasant disposition, but never at the same time or for very long and how fun is it watching life go by without you when in the end all that stuff doesn’t really matter, just be happy and find what works for you and enjoy the ride.
I’ll quote a movie, Parenthood, with Steve martin from a few years back. In it Steve martin and his wife are frazzled and want their life to be simple and predictable. Then grandma say “I always hated the merry-go-round, it just goes round and round. I like the roller coaster, it goes up and down, it’s exciting.”
Welcome to the roller coaster 9 year renter, you’ll like it!
