Grown Up
Last week I transferred the money for a piece of real estate (nope, not quite as grand as the one in the picture) that Highflyer and I decided to buy together more than half a year ago. It was an absolute bargain and great investment and we are planning to rent it out after renovations (it's in very good shape, though). While I had not planned to buy a house, it didn't take much convincing as it was clear that it would be stupid to pass on this opportunity if we can afford it without taking out a loan. Even though I own my flat in Vienna, I did not buy it myself, but - spoilt single child - my parents did, so at the tender age of 53 this is the first property I bought myself. Thanks to its comparatively fair and affordable housing market in the East of Austria at least there is no pressure to "get a step on the property ladder" and throw yourself into debt the minute you get your first pay-check, so it is not uncommon to just rent. In any case it felt wildly grown up to casually transfer a six-digit amount.
