The land we wanted got sold to someone else. Good lessons in that. It was feeling for a while that everything was going right with minimal effort, so it’s nice to see minimal effort leading to a negative result in something so ultimately inconsequential. There will be other land.
The house builder set us up an appointment with their financial planner. We imagine it was for him to tell us how big of a home loan we can actually have and how other financial planners just want our money to invest. This will likely be the case, but he was just so much more professional than the first financial planner we had. Made it easier for us to be saps.
There are a lot of these grown up matters my wife and I are trying to navigate and the first step is getting information and it’s hard to question what you first hear. We don’t aggressively question or distrust. We first just want to hear it from a few people and then judge afterwards calmly.
Or perhaps also likely is we won’t care enough to properly judge calmly and just do whatever. That would make us suckers though, and that wouldn’t be ideal. Maybe doing something with investing or whatever is better than blowing all our money on shit we don’t need though.
I believe I have lost my train of thought.
