The Place You Call Your Home, Do You Rent It, Or Do You Own It?

hi chameleon. you are on the right track about trying to raise sufficient funds so you can have your own house someday. i hope that you will find ways to be able to come up with the amount. it really is comforting to have a house of our own.

I'm renting a room now,and it's really not so convinence when my friends come to visit me ,since it's small.And there are 4 to five people live in the house,and we do not know each other.We use one kitchen,one bathroom,sometimes i have to wait till they used it I also hope to have my own house ,then when my friends,or relatives visit me,there will be available room for them to live in,so i need to work harder

although it is true that it is best to be on our own, the situation that you are in right now should be just fine, faith. try to have some savings each month say, a thousand, goes to the bank regularly for whatever opportunity that may come forth in the future. you will find out that this habit will be most helpful. you must be able to do this since you are not renting a house. good luck in all lyour undertakings, faith.

Hi dear friend! Thank you for the advice, really appreciate it. lovelots..faith

you are so lucky in this regard, eshaan. definitely, the value of your place will keep on going up as time goes by. like our place way back home. we bought it for some thousands and now, it is worth more than a million in philippine money. this holds true to your property, too.

it is really a difficult situation to be occupying a motel where one pays on a daily basis. it is much better once you have moved into an apartment cream. then, it is best to be in a house of our own. there is really no stability if we are jsut renting. anytime that we are no longer pleased with the renting conditions, we will always opt for a transfer somewhere else. this is so far from happening once we own the place that we live in.

yes, i know what you mean, bunnybon. there is no place like a home which you call your very own. but there is a good reason for you to feel settled enough in your son's place. take care and enjoy your life, my friend. your son takes good care of you enough. i can see this. this is a good reason for you to be happy.

well, my friend, it means that you can be restive with the thought that you have a good backup somewhere. it would feel so different if the back up was nowhere to be found.

That's true. At least we have a house to move into if needed.

my hopes are with you shawchert. may you be able to have that home of your dreams.

how lucky you can get, spalladino. it really feels great to be comfortably settled in a place you can call home.

that is also how i feel about the apartment that we are renting this time. i couldn't take roots in it. in other words, it will never offer me any feeling of stability at all.

yes, there is security in your present setup, nekonyanta. if i have the same opportunity given to me, i will gladly accept it. but, we all know that the opportunity such as yours, is very rare.

we are still living in the philippines, tnwoman. the apartment that we are renting, we have been here for more than a year now. the neighborhood is very friendly and secure. davao city is located in the island of mindanao whereas, manila is located in the island of luzon. from manila to luzon, there are so many islands yet to cross. that's how we are from our very own home at this time. we have relocated here for the sake of my sick son. the food supplements which have been giving him the best health effects are all readily available here. when he will have considerably improved on his health condition, we will be moving back to davao city again.

we are renting an apartment right now because, the house we call our very own is situated so very far away from where we are right now. the first cluster of islands in the philippines is luzon and the third one is mindanao. our property is located in mindanao and we are currently settled here in luzon, that's why we have to rent. as for the maintenance of your house, all that you have to do will be to save some money which shall not be touched. it shall be a reserved amount for house repairs. since you are not renting the house that you are settled in, there is no excuse why you cannot set aside the equivalent of fifty dollars a month for this purpose. the money goes to the bank in the same amounts month after month. when yo do this you will notice that you will always have enough for house repairs.
