My sister and brother-in-law have bought a house in Seattle, a mere month after moving there. I found out last night, as Jose and I were sitting around relaxing, web surfing, and watching TV.
My reaction: "Oh my God. I'm 29 years old, I'm unmarried, and I still live in an apartment. My sister is 24 years old, has already been married for two years, and just bought a house. What's wrong with me? Waaaaaaah."
Jose's reaction: "Cool, there'll be a guest room for us when we go visit!"
That, my friends, is the difference between men and women.
So when are you coming to visit? :)
Very cool, where did they buy? If they need anything feel free to give her my email, happy to help.
I don't think that's a difference between men and women. I was amazed as well given the short time they've been there, it's a pretty big commitment to know where you want to be and feel comfortable committing. On the other hand, Joel is from there so that makes it a lot easier to know what's probably right. Props to them knowing they're going to be there long enough that it makes sense! They should have been on one of those "My First House Shows".
Funny, B feels like you regarding his sister, and I feel like Jose.
OK, so now it's your turn to go buy something: house, townhouse, condo. Something.
