for the last 13 or so years i've enjoyed the stability of owning a house. it gave me something to do. i bought a fixerupper in crack town and it is now a lovely home surrounded by amazing & extensive gardens which i enjoyed planting, all smack in the middle of what has become one of the more desireable areas of town, minutes to great beaches and a vibrant downtown.
but what once gave me stability now holds me back. the garden i used to love to work in with my wolfpuppy by my side is just a cemetery for his bones. the area has become so successful that it has lost the low-key appeal which originally attracted me here. while i enjoyed modernizing the house, i am not enjoying the upkeep. where the house used to give me things to do, it is now keeping me from doing other things i'd rather be doing.
unless my thinking changes between now and then, when the market turns i'll be turning over the keys to the next homeowner. it's a vagabond life of rent for me.
