So what's new in the Nalaworld?
Well... the buyer's had their house inspection and there were a few minor things (hopefully affordable) that they want me to remedy. Fortunately, several of them, other than the plumbing and chimney, I can do myself.
Still no word on Blenheim. Which sucks.
I really really really want that property. Well, I want the neighborhood most of all really.
My mortgage approval screamed through in literally 10 minutes. I was shocked to see I can easily be approved for more home than I could ever pay a monthly payment on!
Funny.
13 years ago, during what I call The Dark Ages of my life after I dropped out of grad school, I was $16,000 in credit card debt, evicted from an apartment, taken to court over back rent and my wages garnished, and creditors at my heels on a weekly basis.
I managed to work my ass off and pay off my debts and now have a credit score in the 800s and am considered the perfect ideal person for loans.
The shit one can dig themselves into in their 20s can be fixed by their 30s. I'm living proof of that. There's was just a lot of hard work to do it.
Anyway, 8 more houses to look at this morning.
The House of Love III really isn't mine anymore is it? I mean, I'm still on the title but let's face it, the sale is gonna happen and I still don't have the House of Love IV.
And Teresa, I'll try to get that Ratchet out to you as soon as I can. I'm sorry it has taken me a week!

no problem!! i haven't mailed yours yet either...but i guess i should hurry up!! :D
seriously, you make me feel like maybe someday i can get a house loan and know the joys of ownership! i paid off a large debt myself, and now i am battling id theft, but i sure hope when i hit my 30's (in 2 weeks)things will be better! ;)
