Last year we did something that I never thought we would.
We moved out of our house and we downsized by moving into a condo a few streets over from our old house.
I never used to think that I would want to live in a condo but so far, I have really been loving it. I always thought that it was going to be a place where people told me what to do all the time. I know that they have noise ordinances and you have to keep your lawns a certain length and stuff like that, and usually I don’t do very well with authority figures. I don’t want people to tell me what to do. However, this has been really different from what I thought it would be. Honestly, I have not really had a problem with anything that they have said so far. Actually, I’ve been enjoying the fact that someone else has been taking care of certain things for me. For instance, back when we were in our old house, taking care of the HVAC system was always up to me, and I had no idea what I was doing when it came to our furnace and air conditioning system. But now that we are living in the condo community, all I have to do is pick up the phone and tell the management that I’m having issues with the HVAC system. That’s it! They take care of everything else and I don’t have to worry about any of it at all. Before I know it, the HVAC system is back up and running. It’s like having a personal concierge service.
