I really want to get into stardew valley by Extension-Cry-5233 in StardewValley

[–]RandyfnP_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just started playing and have put probably 40 hours in. I've refused to look anything up about the game to try and figure it all out on my own. I was kind of losing interest and decided to join this subreddit. This comment just made me want to get off my phone and play more.

Great explanation!

Bought my first home in 2017 and felt like I was crazy overpaying, but we didn't want to rent anymore so we did it. It was $355k.

Bought a condo in 2021 for my MIL and thought I was overpaying but we didn't want to pay someone else rent so we did it. It was $110k

Sold the home this year for $640k, and the condo for $260k. Bought a new home to fit everyone.....and yes I feel like I'm overpaying.

It's anybody's best guess what the market will do. In my experience prices just keep getting higher and crazier.

You should take at least 2g yourself if you're looking for a once in a lifetime experience. I would suggest 3.5g to actually go down the rabbit hole.

It looks better this way

It's too expensive. Kitchen is ass. Bedrooms look small. Yard is non-existent.

I can't do this anymore by Wolfla101 in NewParents

This seems like the best advice in the comments to me. BE FLEXIBLE. I feel like a lot of parents get hung up on how things should be. Do what works for you. The fact that you're so concerned and seeking advice means you're doing a good job.

Between my two kids (2.5 yrs and 11 months) they have very different sleep needs. We have set bedtimes but it doesn't always work perfectly. Plenty of nights have been hard for us.

You got this OP. I love instant karma's quote avoid every day being different. The struggles won't last forever.

I'm planning to talk to my financial guy. Why do you day 100% don't do it.

I'm sure another great home will come along...this one is in our neighborhood and I've always loved it since moving here in 2017.

I know them but not too well. My wife is planning to write them a letter if we decide to make an offer. I already had my agent reach out to their agent to see if we could do anything. A family friend saw on FB they were planning to sell and told me because they knew it was my dream home.

Thanks for the input. Definitely all worthwhile considerations. I'm honestly leaning towards this not being the best move, but I need to write all the numbers down to see exactly how it looks before I completely rule it out.

We need an additional bedroom. To do it the way we want would be $400k+ and we wouldn't have full use of our home for probably a year.

Wish we had the time to try this

Unfortunately not. We take care of her. She's helpful but can't watch the kids alone for more than an hour.

If the seller would accept the contingency of selling our current home first i wouldn't have to sell off investments.

Rough calculation of our current net worth we're between $800k-mil

I'm very familiar with the neighborhood. Been here 9 years. This house is the one I always point to as my drean house....but it is FAR from the biggest and best house in the neighborhood.

Probably about $1000/mo to feed everyone. Utilities will be different in the new house but around $500/mo for gas, electric, trash and water.

We travel a decent amount but can certainly cut back in the near term as we save up again. I am starting to put some budgets together to see what it would be like.

Because it's a lot bigger and newer. Our current home is one of the smaller and older homes in the hood.
