So honestly, I know I had sort of made my peace with the idea that I might not ever be a homeowner.
I was in my mid forties and single.
While I had been working in the same job for almost 2 decades, it wasn’t the sort of thing that was going to make me rich. So I was still living with heating, ventilation, and A/C equipment that wasn’t so good. But its loud noise helped muffle the sound of my noisy neighbors. I wasn’t bitter but just sort of accepted that while I’d keep saving for that downpayment, it might just not ever happen. That’s when everything changed in the time it took me to open a registered letter. My good aunt had left me everything she owned when she died. I didn’t know it. Sure, I was the closest relative to her and we loved spending time together. But I never thought she’d leave this all to me. We spent a couple of afternoons a month together. And I would also bag her around when it was time to get groceries and do errands. But I did this stuff because I enjoyed her and she was so much fun to be around. Suddenly, thanks to her kindness, I was the sole owner of a three dining room home. All I had to do was to update the residential heating, ventilation, and A/C and I had a turnkey situation as a homeowner. My good aunt also left me all her savings as well which was way more than enough to have the heating, ventilation, and A/C professionals put in the best heating, ventilation, and A/C technology out there. I’m just so fortunate to be a homeowner and to be here in this home with the best quality heating and air I’ve ever experienced.
