Didn't end up getting a house

I am pretty frustrated, I just took a tour Saturday through a house I had been in before then and was wanting to buy it so I scheduled the tour. Everything was fine with the house and I was first to say I wanted it.

I filled out paperwork for it and when my dad called the seller the seller said someone else was doing an appraisal on it and I wouldn’t get it.

I am pretty mad because it was about the only house in that price range I have seen and liked and it would have been mine if the seller didn’t change his mind or whatever he did. I still don’t understand why I didn’t get it over another guy, it wasn’t a difference in money, I just am frustrated over the whole thing.

The rent would have been less than my parents are charging and I would actually have my own place. I guess I should be thankful for what I have but I have nothing to show for what I have, just someone else’s house and my own car.

I am going to be getting a call from the bank today saying I am approved or not approved, either way I’m not gonna be happy.

Alright that is enough complaining from me for now, sure I could complain about more but nobody likes a whiner.

Sucks when a landlord welches on you. Boo him.

You have to keep watching the market. Use Zillow

Don’t be upset, hope you find a better place soon,

This was for sale by owner, I will be looking at Zillow but my price range is low due to meds costing 200 a month and child support costing 960 a month, I am having a hard time keeping positive when I spend all this money and don’t have anything much to show for it, not that I want flashy things I would just like my own place.

You must be doing well to be able to afford a house with all those expenses! And with schizophrenia to boot. Props.

It’s hell trying to buy or sell a house. Keep watching the listings. Maybe get a real estate agent. You don’t pay their commission. The seller does. So it’s free for you to use them.

Oh my goodness. I can’t believe you pay 960 a month for child support. That’s as much as my monthly cheque from disability. I assume you must work. Good on you for being a supportive father. Is your job physically hard? I am just wondering how it is to work a physical job on meds.

I guess I am doing well but I just had to dip into what little savings I had for a car repair, forgot to mention the almost 300 dollar a month student loans.

I would essentially just be swapping my rent for my parents for a houses rent, I have only 200 dollars to last me 2 weeks and I have been using my previous excess of Invega pills to keep me medicated because I have extra 6 mg pills I can use two of for 12 mg, I am actually prescribed 9 mg pills now but this will have to do because I can’t afford the 9 mg pills now.

Yeah the 960 a month for child support is a bit of a drag, I have heard people say it’s almost as much as their disability payments too. The real ‘fun’ of paying it is I’m pretty sure I just pay my ex wife to do nothing but watch the kids all day, my job isn’t too physically taxing though which is good and I like it enough.
