OT: does it all sometimes seem pointless

[bearishgurl]

Great post, brian. I subscribe this philosophy as well.

scaredy, I have to admit that I have never seen so many overthinkers and agonizers all in one place over a potential RE purchase, who are presumably in the market for either a principal residence or investment property(ies).

If these potential buyers and/or their agents know their area of choice VERY well, there should not be this level of buying hesitation. Since there seems to be, this leads me to believe that these potential buyers and/or their agents are UNfamiliar with their preferred areas, that is, they are NOT able to tell a “good deal” from one they could very well lose equity on after purchase. No offense to any Pigg but this is just my observation.

Many potential buyers seem to be very worried about losing equity after purchase. This chronic worry plus unrealistic expectations in some instances are what’s keeping them on the fence.

What isn’t pointless in life? I spend 8-10 hours a day in a cubicle writing/debugging code… Isn’t that pointless? I spend too much time cleaning up after the kids – or trying to get them to clean up after themselves… isn’t that pointless? I get pleasure from watching tv and riding my bike… but neither has a purpose or point…

The things you mentioned… You see it as pointless – I see it as setting goals and making progress towards them. I’m concentrating on the saving aspect (trying to limit the spending aspect). And I’m trying not to worry… it helps that the goals appear to be within reach. I see a point in having a paid for house. I don’t see the point in worry.

Paid off means cheap living for the rest of my
life… so less $$ goes further. Or the $$ I do have can go towards things I enjoy, rather than a mortgage payment.

I can’t live in the house when I’m dead. But I can live cheap in it while I’m alive.

but in the end… everything is pointless. We’re born, we live, we die.
