        I am incredibly indecisive about these things. I look for years for a piece of furniture. I struggle to overcome this, because I inevitably miss purchases that I go home to think about.

                  That is an unwise financial move. It is better to take a low interest mortgage and use your cash for NO RISK investments.

                  As long as you have the money in norisk situations, you can sleep well knowing if everything falls through tomorrow you can take that money and payoff your house.

                  Make your money work for you.

                    Exactly, I have enough money for the car Ive always wanted, but now I want to put it all towards a house. Once i have enough money for the house I'll probably want something more expensive or I'll just not want to part with it...

                        No, if I really want something I don't worry about the cost.

                        You only live once. You might as well enjoy your money while you can.

                                    It sounds like a good investment - even though housing prices are set to take a dive in most western countries it will only be temporary - if at all in your case - and over time it will only increase in value.

                                          percentage wise, i don't spend much money at all. i've got a couple of cars, some land, a couple of properties, and lot's of liquid cash.

                                          i love the freedom liquidity gives me, even if i'm not squeezing every single cent out of each dollar... and i HATE debt.

                                            Quiet, you should consult Micheal Jackson on this subject. Did you see that interview with him when he was in that art store in Vegas? He would look at some $20,000 piece of art for about 3 seconds and decide that he wanted it. Amazing.
                                            I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                            I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                                I said to myself, "even MJ can't be this dumb."

                                                Imagine all the hungry children in the world he could have fed with those purchases alone. That was the most disgusting display of greed I have ever saw.

                                                    I'm sure that is true. But did you see that? He didn't want that stuff. He just walked in and said, "I'll take this, this, this, that, 2 of these, that, this" It was revolting. I bet he never laid eyes on any of that stuff after he purchased it. It was nothing but excess. If he were buying shit he actually wanted, I wouldn't feel this way.

                                                      i love the freedom liquidity gives me, even if i'm not squeezing every single cent out of each dollar... and i HATE debt.
                                                      Yea but once you get past a certain point and you know you have a decent income, luqidity and safty is definatly more important than getting a high return.

                                                      I'm only 21 and poor compared to you.... So I choose to sqeeze with all my might.

                                                              Precisely, you can't take it with you so you'd better enjoy at least a little of it while you can...

                                                                as we near the 2010 olympics, the property value will only go up - especially in that location. but the real reason i'm interested - is the almost year round access to snowboarding. and i've always wanted a true ski-in/ski-out property.

More of an 'arts' feel to Banff as well. prices are much, much better in Banff.

Just the sum of money involved? Like you said you probably will have plenty in reserve even after the purchase, and the likelihood that you wont be able to recover your initial investment is also much smaller with real estate than just about anything else.

                                                                                    Take Luck!

                                                                                            I dunno how much you earn but I know you have some money. If there ever comes a time you need cash quickly - sell this place and make a tidy profit.

                                                                                            Good luck
