The Big New Zealand Town Search As previously mentioned, after time away in Asia, my husband Fred and I are returning to New Zealand. After ten years of short-term rentals and lots of exciting travel, we are thrilled to purchase a home and put down roots. New Zealand is a relatively small, sharing the same surface area as Colorado. The largest cities are Auckland (where we lived for 5 years and…

To Move or Not To Move

So like in the past 4 years I've been wanting to move to Europe or Japan, but mainly Europe, and I keep finding these houses I really want, but the price is a little out of my budge so I've been trying to get a friend or 2 to move with me. The house I found this time has 2 guest houses so there would be enough room for 2 people to live there and it means I could cut the price in 3rds so it wouldn't be as much but so far all my friends keep saying no which I understand but the thing that makes me mad is that they said yes like a year or 2 ago and it's not like they have a house of their own they're still living with their parents, just like me, and they keep complaining about them too so I'm trying to help them by giving them a choice to get to see new things and not stay in this state. They've always said they didn't want to be stuck here like everyone else, but to me they want to stay here they just keep lying to their selves about it. Which it doesn't bother me if they want to stay here it just bothers me that they said they'd go and got my hopes up, to me they should have told me the truth and say they didn't know. Now I have to figure out with I'm going to do if I'm going to go all by myself and try to pay for that house, if it’s still for sale when I can actually afford buying a house if it’s not I'll look for another, or try to find somewhere to live in the states. I really don't want to live in the states cause everything's just going to hell here and I don' think I could take that for the rest of my life, I've been living in the states for a little over 19 years and I can’t stand it here I admit there are some nice places but the price of things are outrageous specially for the people that can’t afford it. I'm not even going to get into that topic right now maybe another time, if you guys want to see that rant sometime just message me and remind me some day. I'm going to get back to the topic I started with. . . .The house. Well, the house is amazing and there's a lot of room and there's 2 pools one for the main house and one for the guest houses. Saying that the price is reasonable but still its way out of my price range, it’s around $800,000. I figured if I got some friends we could split it, but so far no one wants to go because it's too far and they don't know the language. I'm just going to have to learn the language which really doesn't bother me that much even though I only know English, but I'm hoping to get this pimsleur approach thing since its suppose to teach you the language faster than anything else but the people are stupid and won’t take prepaid credit cards or even paypal which is so lame. Speaking of languages I want to learn 5 languages which are Japanese, French, Russian, German, and Italian. If I learn those 5 languages I'll be super happy then can go to all the places I want to go and understand the people. Well I'm getting off topic so I think its time to end this rant so bye until the next post.
