Home Ownership - A Timeline

So we went for supper with Isabelle tonight (and then took her shopping which took like 4 hours because she's a little old lady and walks slow).... highlights at the dinner conversation included:

  1. She has some really funny stories about cats
  2. Gingerale is a good fix for a stomache ache
  3. When asked if her timeline for moving was 1-2 years or more like 4-5 years she gasped and said 'oh, I don't want to be there that long'

Conclusion:

Must buy Aunty Isabelle a cat soon, and we *think* she'll be ready to move in 18-24 months.....

  1. So maybe that will help you to live as cheap as you can for the short term, in order to save for the long term.
