I am sooooooooo bad about making major decisions, I always seem to start a poll in LS to help me.
As many of you know, I am entering the realm of singledom on Dec 1, the closing date of the sale of our house (and signing of the official separation documents).
I am now searching for my very first ever "girly pad" .
We sold our house and made a small profit, so we each have a nest egg. My options now are:
1) Use nest egg to buy a condo. I would just barely be able to afford it, but I did find a nice one right downtown. I wouldn't have much extra money (for U2 trips etc) but I would be owning it, and it's very new.
The only problem is the condos are supposed to go drastically down in value next year. Then again, maybe the great location and newness of this one would make for an easy resale.
2) Rent an apartment in the same area as the condo (there is a glut of them right now) and even though it's a tad cheesy, it's still a nice place. I'd save lots and lots of $ for later, and I could blow some of the nest egg on the U2 tour.
Heeeeelp! What should I do?
