Evil Railroad Conductor
Hi guys, havent been around for awhile, i've been so busy with life these days, mostly work, then the rest goes to my gf lol.
But because i have been working so much, i've saved up enough for a downpayment on a house, great right!!? Except for one small problem so far... Nothing i've found, has parking for a 20 foot long truck...
I've looked at so many places, many places me and her have loved and are perfect except for the parking of a truck... Now for me, im looking at townhomes, single family homes are just too expensive to buy here. A nice single family home is in the mid 400 range and i just cant afford that. Even the townhomes im looking to buy are in the high 300's to low 4's, stretching my budget but STILL no parking for a big truck.
My realtor and even my girlfriend has started to hint that maybe i should sell my baby and get something smaller... I'm just not ready to do that, im going to keep looking until ive seen every damn place for sale. But there is a chance that i might have to part ways with my ram and get a more suitable vehicle if i want to buy a place. And where i live? NOW is the time to buy, house prices dropping, a ton of places on the market and interest rates at an all time low. Also a ton of tax benefits to go along with it, you just cant find a better time to buy where i am, and i be stupid not to buy if i can.
I'm just in debate on what i should do... Some say selling the truck to buy a place will have me resenting the house. But the flip side as my friend pointed out last night, if i have to keep giving up all these places, i will grow to resent the truck as well..
I dont NEED a truck per say, especially buying a townhome, yard work etc is already done for me, but its come in handy and i just love trucks, i love V8's, i love the size and yea...
It's a sad to to even be considering this since its my first new vehicle ive owned and by far my favorite...
