1 – Purpose of House Purchase

Foudation of having your own house

 
When I first thought of having my own house, the first thing that I thought about is why I want to buy a house. Is it just a need or a want?

NEED

• I am currently staying in an apartment. Owning a house would give me a stable place to stay.
• I need a place that could be very accessible to my work, or is very accessible to job and business opportunities.
• I also need to start early in purchasing my own house, since I want to avail of my benefit in PAGIBIG financing. And, starting early could give me more options in the term of the loan that I would be getting.
• I need a house to help me be more independent, in the Philippines, since we have strong ties with our immediate family we normally prefer to stay intact until we settle down. I still am for this, however, having my own house would let me take care of my own house responsibilities.

WANT

• I want a house that I could design according to my own personality.
• After work, I want a place where I could totally relax as I could modify it for my own comfort. 
• In the future I want to have a place to call my own, a product of my own hard work.

These are things that first occurred in my head while thinking of having my own house. It is really MORE OF A NEED than a WANT.

But, who wouldn’t want to have one anyway? :-)
