After the wedding, a married couple starts building a family. Some want to conceive a child right away, while some opt to focus on their careers while stabilizing their financial capacity. Ideally, a married couple starts their lives anew under one roof on their own, either by renting or for those who are capable, they buy their own abodes right away. While these may be the ideal setup, some would rather live temporarily with the family of either partner for practical reasons.
We got married in December 2005 and we initially stayed with my in-laws. The husband and I agreed that we could save for our own house fast if we live with them first: no monthly rent fees to pay, shared household expenses and even shared household chores. Of course, there are disadvantages but the pros outweigh the cons in our case. We were both working during that time and as we initially tried to recover the wedding expenses, we started to save as well for the family we’d be raising. We drew our short term and long term plans. Most notable plans that time were to have a child soon; and buy a place that we can call our own in five years time.
Four years later, we are now blessed with an adorable son. As we near the five-year term we’ve set for the house project, there is no better time to start planning and realizing it than now.
So wish us luck and have a ride with us through this blog as we take a journey and make our way to finally realizing that big goal in concrete details.
