When you get, obtain, purchase (whatever you call it) a house of one's own it is a big deal. You can put holes in the wall wherever you want. You can keep the lights on all night (though you wouldn't since "you" are paying all the bills now!), you can landscape and decorate however you want. You have a "place to stay".
We have lived for years in substandard student housing. It was very "close" to where we work, but it was in the midst of student partying and we older folks didn't quite fit in. Will we fit in in this new neighborhood of families and such? Sure hope so. We want to fit in somewhere and get to know our neighbors -- I think we will have things in common. Having a place of one's own is a responsibility, but also fun. It is something to feel upbeat about!
