Struggle

amykaio

at work, can't type Chinese, really can't make a decision, any opinion welcome~

me and my husband got a day job each, plus, we did commerical cleaning at night and it has been 5 months, good for saving but not enough to make us rich. Trying hard to save up to buy a house.

Struggling is because I don't see my 2 girls enough, 3 and 4 years old.
During weekdays, only 3 hours the most.
During weekend, take away the rest time, still not much.

If we stopped now, we are only half way of 10% deposit and it's gona take a long time to save from day job incomes only.
If we carried on for another 1.5 years, we will be able to make it, just.

1.5 years may not sound a lot, but looking at them playing, being funny and cute, I just can't help wonder if I really have to give up the precious time for a house. Can't the house wait?

I just can't decide......

suffer now enjoy later. There is a trade off in almost everything you do, you get one thing and lose others. Guess what you need to do is to consider what is more important to you.

There are always houses in the market. Buy later, spend time with kids now.

你的房子多少钱，10%应该不难存吧

除非你的老公是大手大脚花钱的白人

沙发说的多。生活就是取舍，不可能事事圆满。选择得看两件事在你心里的分量。你们买房的budget多少？要买哪个区什么样多大的房子？

离开奥克兰，去小地方做生意，赚钱多，存钱快，还有很多时间陪孩子。存够钱了，在奥克兰买房子，搬回奥克兰，很多华人这样子做
