Im having such a hard time tackling life right now. I have sooo many decisions I am trying to make and it seems I have such very little time to do it all in. Right now we are deciding on what we really want to do with our lives. We are young but need to make a decision very soon. We know we want a big family, lots of children! Right now we live in the middle of our small little town with nothing around. Our homw we bought cheap and it needs LOTS of work!! The only problem is if we put the money into it living here, we would never get it back if we deide to sell it. Nobody in this area can afford over a 50,000 house, if that. Its ridiculous really. We would love to live in the country…and have a small homestead. I have been asking myself for 3 years now, do I want to put money into this house, do we want to buy land and build, do we want to buy a home and some land in the country that is already built or do we want to move out of NY? Ahhh…Im sooo confused and Im not really sure where to invest my money? Right now I want to stay home and do daycare. I am saving up for that. We live right in town and I have the possibility to stay home and make good money and stay home with my children. We will definatley be here for another 5-6 years no doubt about that. I would hate not to put money into it while we live here…just for the sake we live here and also what of we dont end up moving? I am trying to be as frugal as possible and cut in areas that I can definatley cut it. Just sooo I can use the extra money to save or possibly put towards something we neeed, even maby pay off our small debts we owe. With prices rocketing so high, do I want to stay in NY? Do I want to move to a small homestead so we can harvest our own foods, meat etc? There are sooo many options and I just dont know which one to choose. I would love to move out of NY…there is nothing here. Its terrible! If anyone has any advice, please do share.
I know…I just got done ranting about wanting to be a SAHM. Im soo lost! i really really want to stay home but I also want a home…I dont think Ill win either way!
