Sometimes waiting is not a bad thing. I was looking at this place three years ago. It was slightly out of my price range but I figured if I cut a few corners I could swing it with no problem. But I just kept worrying about it. Finally I decided to take the smaller place which fell well inside my budget of 1/4 of my take home pay. I figured I could live cramped for a year. This was in August of 2001. You know what is coming next don't you? 9/11 happened and six months later I was the person turning out the lights in my department. I end up temping and doing tax returns for three months. Thank goodness that I didn't have the bigger place or I might have had to dip into my savings.
I know how that works. Sometimes, our hearts tell us the "real deal" while our minds are still trying to struggle with the logistics.
If all else fails, listen to that "still, small voice" -- it will never lead you astray. Honest Injun! :-)
