Hello my dear friend @mballesteros,
I hope this holiday finds you more settled and rested. You have worked hard this year.
We can't see the water from our window, but we can see the gulls flying overhead and the beach is a very short ride. Actually a bike ride if I were able :)
what you were charged in taxes and insurance increase will not outweigh the happiness of having found a nice home
So very true. We are not bitter, or even upset. Surprised and a little disappointed but buying a home will always bring surprises and it's good not to cut things close when planning a budget. We're OK :)
I wish you and your family peace, rest and fortune in the year to come. I believe this will be a very good year for you.
A hug back to you my friend.
