I locked in a 3.25% mortgage rate in a desirable suburb. It looks like success on the surface, but feels far from it.
I'm grateful for my 3.25% interest rate and affordable mortgage in a desirable suburb of Washington DC, but there are cons, and I feel stuck.
Sheena Wilson, a photographer who lived in Atlanta for over a decade, moved to the DC suburbs after realizing that she missed her family. Despite missing Atlanta, she secured a great mortgage rate of 3.25% on a home in a desirable suburb for her daughter. Although she feels lonely and misses her friends, she acknowledges that she is the boss of her family's decisions and that they can move whenever they want.
She has weighed these words many nights and understands that Atlanta had everything she wanted except proximity to her family. She is proud to be a homeowner and enjoys gardening with her daughter in their townhouse. Although she has made three new friends, she feels lonely and overwhelmed by the feeling of starting over in a new community.
However, she realizes that her daughter's happiness and social well-being are the most important things, and she is determined to build a new community around her growing family.
