I have always dreamed of having my own place. A house that I can call mine. My own little space that I worked hard and saved for. Since paying for real estate in cash seem to be light years away, I think it will be easier for me to get a mortgage. These mortgages will allow me to purchase a house and lot or just a lot on installment at a low interest rate. In this way, I am forced to save up for my space. I am forced to set aside a certain amount of money so I can pay for my mortgage. Most mortgage deals often last for at least 10 years and with interest rates of around 5% and up.

Yet, before I get into any mortgage plan, there are certain things that I have to consider. Making a decision can be easy but when you think about the things you need to consider, that makes it more complicated. Since mortgages normally last for 10 years, I have to make sure that I will not be out of job until I paid everything. If I ever lose my job, then it should not take that long for me to find another job or I should at least have enough savings to help sustain myself and pay for my mortgages for a certain period of time.

For now, I just have to be frugal with my expenses and save as much as I can. Then, soon, my dream house will be at hand.
