There is just me and the wife, both of us are busy enough and neither of us want to be maintaining a yard, gardens and such any more. We bought a 3 bed, 2 bath apartment, 2 car spaces... so we have plenty of room, and it has a mini-cinema room in the complex, pool and 2 level gymnasium, we also have the tram at our front door for ultimate convenience. (Lookup Melbourne, Australia, for tram)
No kids, no hassle... so we figure downsize and get out and about in the city more without having to drive everywhere. We want to go out together, go dancing, et cetera, without having to worry about city parking, drunk driving and the long list of issues that go with going out for a night and parking your car in a city. Yes, we don't want to worry about maintaining a house any longer. Apartment living... we pay our annual body corporate fee and they look after the building, our only maintenance is the interior of our apartment. Its brand new... so I don't figure it will be needing a renovation any time soon.
This gives us the best of everything pretty much for where we are now, and where we want to be in the coming years.
First interview today... Yuk! A day of more cleaning and touching things up to get ready. Double Yuk!
