Kristel's Blog

At Mum’s, was invited for dinner, and now I have four hours to waste. So, I’m blogging. I was going to watch Egypt’s 10 Greatest Discoveries, but SOMEONE wanted to watch the seemingly endless hours of whatever Property Ladder is. Then again, it is her house.

I’d update my WordPress version, but I’m not at my house, with my list of passwords, so I can’t update.

I’ve been looking into Condos this week. Why? Well, I was considering buying a car, but my parents don’t seem to be removing the “Use-our-car-anytime” deal anytime soon, so I don’t really need a car yet. So the “car” money I have saved, would make up for the down payment on the condo. And aparently the mortage payments seem to come out LESS than my rent is now (not to mention the $11.71 it’s going up to in July) But mum says I might not have credit to do such a thing. So it could be more, or more interest or something. I don’t understand. Not the point. I’m going to talk to dad tonight, who does understand, and have him let me know whether I should forget about it for now, or whether I should go speak with my financial advisor at the bank and find out of I can do such a thing. I was just thinking that in the long run, condos always (assuming it’s well kept) pay back more money, and cars depreciate the moment you drive them off the lot. The ones I’m looking at are at: http://condosforless.ca/guelph.html The one bedroom ones. I dunno, do you think I should go for it?… I wonder if I could afford one tiny bungalo? Then again, I’d have yardwork to do. But I could have a vegetable garden.

On a side note, just watched the final curling game of the season, and Howard won. Hooray! Ontario rocks, his competition, who quit early, Alberta, aparently does not.

…So bored can’t think of anything else to say. Have a good Sunday!

*addition since I’ve been home*

So i’ve looked at a few more sites, i’d put those links on here, but they’re bookmarked on my mum’s computer. basically, there’s some that i like more than the ones above… especially since i’ve read the fine print, and noticed the 40 year mortage. which isn’t soooo pretty. still thinking i’m going to need to see a financial advisor about this, because we added things wrong on the mortage calculator, and it tells me i can afford a $50,000 house… which will pretty much be a four walled unit just outside of the junk yard.
