Deep in Debt *and loving it* - somewhat.

Well, it is all done - all official - no turning back.

I can see a very VERY big DR when I login into my Netbanking and my account balance looks soooo measly!

I have now entered into the big Australian dream and am now officially a property owner! To add the cherry to the cake, I am also now a landlord *gosh*. The landlord thing is temporary though - a mere 6 months until the previous owners finish building their own property. Will then move further out into the suburbs but then again, I like suburb living.

I like the fact that

  • I have the space to call my own
  • I am not sharing a small area with 8 or more other dwellers.
  • I am able to walk and savour my cup of coffee in (small) garden.

I do not like the fact that

  • I am now in debt for at least 25-30 yrs
  • I am unable to take my (3 X ) yrly trips away
  • I am stuck with a atrocious bank balance (even if it is suppose to be good debt)

I am so screwed aren't I? :)

How you see yourself...

I was trawling through the usual hitlist of blogs of reads and came upon this rather interesting quiz - and I could not resist.

Best part is - it is quite accurate! I wonder if somewhere deep down, your answers reflect the subconscious? Hmmm.. give it a go and tell me how it came out!

*********************************************************************8
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.


Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.


The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.


Your views on education:
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.


The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.


How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed.
Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.


What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.


Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
