I like this except there's nothing wrong with an apartment or flat! As long as it's secure, and all yours!

Right, even though this was written inthe 80s when homes were more affordable. Lol

Haha, right? I love my apartment in a security building. We have someone on site 24/7 and everything is monitored. Gives me peace of mind.

I just paid off my house. Single and living by yourself is the best feeling of independence. Nobody can take what I’ve built.

Congratulations! Such an accomplishment!!!

Congratulations!! That’s awesome. When I bought my house six years ago, I’d never lived alone. Now I can’t imagine living with anyone ever again 😝

I bought a house when I was 22. Then at 27 I let my now ex husband movie into it. Never again!! He then found a new sucker after I divorced him and moved into her house. Moral of the story is don’t let a guy move into your house!!

Sounds like a dream, but the median price for a home in my county is $545,000 and I'm just a teacher lol.

I have the home and firearm....too poor for security system 😂
[–]KompottkopfFDS Newbie11 points12 points13 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
omg, is the last word "porn" or "poem" because both would be fitting in that context and this subreddit :O
also thanks for posting this, i think i've just upgraded my image of the future from "a flat of my own" to "a house of my own"
[–]boringcatwranglerFDS Newbie3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I just caught that! I’m 99% certain it’s ‘poem’
[–]woadskyFDS Newbie7 points8 points9 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Be careful with idealizing ownership of a single family home and managing it as a single person. The yard care alone is daunting....and that's even after I hired someone to mow! Just know what you're getting into...I thought I did, and it's a smallish home with a small yard and it's still a lot. I may end up in a townhome or condo.

My apartment is amazing. I wouldn’t live in a man’s filth and trash ever again. Been there, done that.
Sure, it’s not a house, but it’s all mine and maintenance does all the repairs and gardening. 😁

Buying my own home was the single most empowering thing I did leaving my abusive relationship. Knowing it’s my place and nobody can make me leave is amazing.
Sidenote, sisters in this thread, don’t feel like home ownership is automatically out of reach! I moved to a low cost of living area and the price of my single family house was less than what my parents paid for the home I grew up in when they bought in the late 80’s. I put less than you’d pay for a new car down on it.

I’m closing on my very first home and I feel like it was serendipity to read this at this moment 🤍 no one to control any aspect of my life at this moment. 😊

I just bought a house of my own and I love this so much 😭 thank you OP
[–]thaiteabbysFDS Newbie0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ahh I love this. It’s one of my personal goals in life to buy my own house (maybe even custom) or even being able to live in a pretty apartment overlooking the big city. Or maybe a condo.

Saving this and manifesting! I can’t wait to have this.

Composer Derek Bermel turned this into a really beautiful theater song. Soprano Mikaela Bennett made a recording of it online https://youtu.be/jJrS1emt1VU
