changes

So I recognise some changes. 

I'm a lot more risk averse. I don't just jump into getting excited at houses first. I look at the roof, I want to be thorough when it comes to the safety and security of the house. Thinking about a house carefully before putting an offer in. 

I'm waiting til I actually have the keys to the house before I start thinking about buying new furniture or where my current things might go. 

I'm struggling a little with the not dreaming about the house. 

I like what Kathryn said - that my forever house is out there, it's just hiding at the moment. 

That hope is still there. 

But so is this ticking clock for the bank pre-approval. 60 days from application date. It's already been 15 days. 

I'm starting to get nervous and feel like I have to move faster. 

I want to see the photos of the other houses Bonny has waiting to be listed. 

I have money in my accounts still - three days from payday! 

That in itself is a big change. And I'm focussed on making these changes permanent. Focussed on myself and my future. 

Yes, I have Crystel and Riley to consider - but also myself. ♥️ And I still have to find the right place that I know I can be happy in too.

Part 7 - Note To Self

Be onto it.  Know where your money is coming ANG going.  Know your debts.  Pay them. Whatever method you can.  If you're not sure - contact the credit rating companies.  They'll straight up just tell you.  Then you can avoid finding an overdue $9 payment from TWO YEARS AGO that is now putting a red underlined mark under my name and a big ole NOPE on the risk-o-meter for the banks. Ugh.  I worked so hard to get here and am being screwed over by a few things:  * A lack of communication from the company. They should have called me about the outstanding payment. They say they sent two emails back in 2019. I cannot find them. I had no recollection that I had an overdue payment. Had I known... I would have paid the $9!  * The company seem to be refusing to remove this mark from my name on the credit score. This is beyond frustrating.  * The banks see me as a risk because of a missed payment from 2019. Of $9.  * My credit score is currentl...

Continuing to break the poverty mindset

Whuuuu.  I'm still processing the latest thought patterns.  We're going to an Open Home on Sunday. 52 Buchanan. Beautiful big house. Flashy, as Crystel puts it.  She wants to live in a flashy house.  I get it.  We've both been through some crazy trauma and deserve good things.  But inside me is also this niggling thought that makes me think I don't deserve to. That thought is holding me back.  I find it hard to see myself in a fancy, flashy, new house.  I prefer to see myself in a villa.  Part of that could be conditioning while growing up. Maybe it's to do with my preconceived notions and ideas about wealth.  Maybe I still have more work to do.  At present - my list of house options:  52 Buchanan Street Ōpōtiki * 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms * newer house * Not much section * Pizza oven * Big garage * Big white gates * Open plan living and kitchen 32 Potts Ave * 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, 1 shower over bath * Co...
