My husband and I recently bought a house an hour down south away from the city.
There are pros and cons to this move.
Being in the city is a little more dangerous and noisier. There are also no homes that have property. However, being near all the shops, bars and businesses is really nice. After our move down south, there will be literally nothing to do. There are three restaurants, one bar and the grocery store is quite pathetic. What really is going to hurt is that there is no body wellness center. I have been spoiled these past two years. I have been exclusively training at a high end gym. I pay out of the butt for a gym membership but it is worth it. I go every single day to do some form of work out. The gym has a swimming pool, hot tub and sauna area. There are also stationary bikes that I can take a spin class or just do what I want. There is a weightlifting section and an open space to stretch. I even have the option to do personal training if I want to. I have gotten spoiled always having quality fitness gear and instruction at my fingertips. Once my husband and I move, I won’t have either of those. I found that our new house has an outdoor shed that could be converted into a gym. Then what? I don’t know how to work out without tons of gear. That will be a hefty expense right after buying a house.
