I went and looked at a nice rental property this afternoon. Bigger than our place, and cheaper! A lovely area, but a few km further to the tram stop and daycare (have to be mindful that I start WORK next week, gawd help me. so these things are important to note) and who knows how Mel would get to work if I'm using the car and he has no transport within walking distance, like he does now??
Hmmm....
So I came home and thought about the cost of moving - removalist, carpet cleaning, forking out for bond while waiting for this bond to be released (how does that work?), plus the transport issue, not to mention that I'm about to be working five days a week, so when the far-har-hark am I supposed to find time to pack and clean??? - and I thought bugger it, we've got a lease until November and they can't make us move. We're probably going to sell our Sydney house and when we do we'll have a lot more spare cash so if we have to move in November when the lease expires, then so be it. But it's just as likely this place will be bought by an investor who'd love to have us as tenants, right? And then sometime next year we'll buy our own place. Poifect.
Seriously, my biggest concern was the inconvenience of having people come through every week and having to keep the place nice and tidy, but that seems like a breeze compared to the upheaval of moving and what it is likely to cost us. So this time, I'm not being whimsical and impulsive.. I'm being sensible. We are staying put. Phew.
PS. Wish me luck for that interview tomorrow for that job that I think I don't want anymore. Yeah that makes sense.
