Letting emotions get in the way of rational thinking
Undoubtedly, buying a home is a personal decision. But it is also one of the most important financial decisions of your life, so it should not be taken lightly. Sure, you’ve been dreaming of living in a nice, cozy home in the countryside or in a posh house by the beach and have worked hard to achieve this dream. But if your dream home is not in harmony with your lifestyle in the real world, chances are your dream will someday turn into a nightmare.
The countryside might seem like the perfect place to live a peaceful, stress-free life but if you have to waste even more time commuting to work, then stress is definitely not out of the picture. Therefore, when you buy a home, try to visualize the way living there will make you feel but don’t disregard the practical aspects of life like commuting time, local conveniences etc.
