“Own thy own home.”
No family can fully enjoy life
unless they do have a plot of ground wherein children can play in the clean
earth and where the wife may raise not only blossoms but good rich herbs to
feed her family.
The money lenders gladly
consider the desires of men who seek homes and land for their families. Readily
you can borrow to pay the brick maker and the builder for such commendable
purposes, if you can show a reasonable portion of the necessary sum which you
yourself have provided for that purpose.
Then when the house is built,
you can pay the money lender with the same regularity as you did pay the
landlord. Because each payment will reduce your indebtedness to the money
lender, a few years will satisfy his loan.
There are many blessings to the man who owns
his own house. And greatly it will reduce his cost of living, making available
more his earnings for pleasures and the gratification of his desires.
Like many other OFWs, we have plans of
owning our dream home. We try to save money to buy a land and build our house so
there is a place where we can stay when we go for vacation or when we decided
to go home for good. Filipinos have a notion that if you own a house, you are
well-off, well somehow.
My family already owns a house and that is
our family home. Every time I come for vacation, I will definitely stay on our
house. But I already started to plan of owning my own house and lot, when the
time that I need to settle down. That is my reason in buying a lot in a
subdivision.
It is better to have a house and lot while
you can afford to buy it. Many of my friends spent a lot of money in building
and “furnishing” their homes with “state-of-the-art” technology and materials
to the point of borrowing money for it. I don’t have anything against
furnishing your house with good stuff but is it really needed for the time
being? But in the end, it is money wasted especially if you will not stay on it
right now. Instead of owing money, they should have saved the money for
furnishing later on. My friend regretted buying stuff for her home and having a
huge debt. She said she should have invested it in other things than putting it
all in their house.
Own a comfortable home.
