I seriously need to stop watching HGTV. Specifically Property Virgins and House Hunters. Not only is that Property Virgins host getting on my nerves, it is giving me serious house envy. And all that's going to do is give me wrinkles (I not only have house issues but skin worry issues too).
I have always known we would not buy a house for a while. My husband is working on his PhD and that, combined with me being a social worker, does not make for an income that will buy a house in Vancouver. Forget a house, it won't by a condo, unless we are willing to move to deep suburbia (which I'm not).
We also don't know that we are going to be in one place long enough for it a good investment to buy a home even if we wanted to.
Despite all that though, I can't stop wishing the time was now. It's hard to be content sometimes. I love my life, the neighbourhood we live in and the things that not owning a house allows us to do. However, as friends of ours from Ontario keep buying homes and knowing that the market there is so much reasonable it can be easy to start focusing on what we don't have instead of what we do.
So, it's my new goal to focus on contentment and just turn all of my envy into a beautiful dream because I know one day, we will get there, when the timing's right. And when you can let go of the discontent, the dreams are beautiful.
