We are getting busy arranging things to bring with us and at the same time disposing things that we would no longer need and won’t be bringing with us when we move. We still have to make a final decision whether to take the 3rd floor apartment which is cleaner and newer yet smaller or the 1st floor apartment which not as clean yet still clean, older but bigger in space plus there are already 3 beds in the 2 BRs and there are already cabinets in the room plus we have a small space in the front yard to hang dry our clothes when we do the laundry unless we buy a spin drier yet that is not yet an option as of now. So hubby and I might check and see again the 1st floor apartment which is our first option since the location of the 3rd floor might not be good an more convenient for us having a baby.
On the other hand, we are thinking of renting out or having the house we have not lived in farther south. We might decide to have it for assume but then if finances will still allow us to pay for the mortgage, I would want to just rent it out to subsidize our rent also. That reminds me that I still have to check on those mortgage quotes.
The rent for both apartments of our choice are rather high but the location ad apartments are much better than the others we have seen though they are a little cheaper. One thing we were considering was the place should be nearer hubby’s office and this is the nearest we got so far. We also know the owner’s son who is also a blogger. This move will really affect our finances and we just have to go thrift on everything so maybe that would mean no more or lesser food trips which is I think a blessing in disguise too so that I can diet or should I say be forced to diet and eat less and less frequent and also avoid other gas-tric urges as we call it that would add up to our not so necessary expenses. Also since my second to the eldest sis is also moving out of my parents house in a few months since her house is ongoing construction, then we both hope that our eldest sis who is living with us and her 5 kids in my parents house would learn to stop depending on us for their financial needs and more importantly learn to take care of her children on her own. That she would stop leaving home early and going home from work and hopefully realize to care for her children in a motherly way. I hope she would prioritize her children since their father is missing. As much as we would want to help her but we have talked to her already and she seems not giving back her part of the bargain. She seem not to have changed or should I say reformed her ways and attitude. I am also worried with the move coz my mom would be more on her own to look after the kids. But mom at one point had voiced out too that since I am already married then maybe we can move into our own house though she understands that that house we have is far from hubby’s work place. But there are other concerns that makes me think it i time to go on our own. I pray God will continue to bless me with more opps and means to earn so that we need not worry much on our finances. But then this is a call for simplicity of life and there are always means to enjoy life that does not necessarily involve money. I am looking forward positively to this new chapter in life as I may call it. I am truly hoping for a new and better life on our own.
As long as we have a place on our own where there is more peace and I really need a breather from the environment we have. I think this move though not an easy choice will help us be independent and learn the way of life on our own. I believe in God’s providence and we will constantly pray that we will have the means to pay off our rent, utilities and other needs. May God bless us in this new venture in our life as a family.
