The gut says....

NO on the house. Yes, it's a good buy. Yes, it has a view. Yes, it has enough space to host 85 people for Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, it doesn't really have anything wrong with it.

And we said no.

Doesn't really make sense, does it?

It really comes down to feeling comfortable. Do we feel comfortable owning that type of house? No, it goes against our principles of living simply. Do we feel comfortable doling out that amount of money for the long term (mortgage, insane property taxes, utilities)? No. We can, but we don't want to.

I even looked back at all the pictures just now. Yeah, it's pretty. But it's just not us.

I felt like you were leaning that way the whole time. You'll know when the time is right.
