~ Is this going to be my home or will I lose it? ~
Is this for real? Yes it is and there is a solution for it.
As many of you know, I have often moved to different places. But never to a place where I can call it a home. Before I moved here " Finally finished after a long time... " This place belongs to a person that's been a friend of my family for more than 20 years in an apartment I rent right now.
Since this person av been a good friend of the family for that long, she rents out her apartment to me for a really low rent and want me to live there for many years to come, since she moved to her lover. The apartment didn't look great so I been working on it since December 2018 to March 2019 for it to look great.
~ An unexpected situation ~
Now for two weeks ago, I got to know she been in a fight with her lover and it ended really badly. She been sitting in jail for 3 weeks and just got out. She been here at my place and told me everything that happened and the reason why. She's been out drinking way too much and one thing led to the other.
She's waiting for her court date, but she hasn't got a specific time when that will be. It can be a week from now or a year from now. But she want her apartment back and live here to her court date. So I have to move again just because of her actions and she has a big feeling that she's going to get jail time.
~ Come up with a solution and agreement ~
I asked her if she was interested to sell her apartment to me. I know she needs the money for replacement and the damage she reflected on her lover, she's been sued for. 20 years ago she bought this apartment from my family for 350,000 NOK which is a total of 39,000 dollars today.
I offered her the double of what she paid for the apartment. I know the apartment is worth more today, but I hope she will sell it to me for that price. She got this apartment for the lowest price my family could give her and I hope she will do the same for me.
I have been to 3 different banks and wrote a loan application to these banks. In hope, I can get the money I need to buy her apartment. If this doesn't work, I have to move out again and find myself a new place to live all over again like I been doing for the last 5 years because of the different jobs I had.
So all I can do now is to wait and see if one of the banks will approve my loan application. I just want guys to know why I haven't been her for a long time. But I will let you guys know what happend next.
I really hope you don't have to move and get yourself another place to live, you already put a lot of work it to that place. I wish you good luck <3
Many thanks and yeah and there is more work that has to been done in this apartment too. So if it works out I'm going to continue to improve the apartment.
hope you luck my dude
Thank you
This reminds me early of what i have been through with my father lately he had the same issues with alcohol as well i was forced to throw him out with the police for gods sake.
It's incredibly horrible what alcohol can do to people. But it's up to yourself how much you want to take in the first place too. Alcohol has different effects on people. One of the few reasons why I have never started drinking alcohol in my entire life.
I've have tested both beer and wine when I was 16 and 18, but it tasted terribly bad. I don't mind people drinking alcohol either, many times they do something stupid and say something they would never normally say like, how much they love me and a lot of other things and forget everything next day.
But I have also been in a few situations where I been in a fight with a drunk person just because he thought I was there to take his lady. Another time when I was into a girl that was into me too went right on another person that I never liked just because she was drunk for the first time and her excuse was she thought it was me.
If you drink like 1-3 beer it's okay, but you don't have to drink like 10-20 beer or more in one night. Sometimes it can be fun and having a good time, but sometimes it can go terribly wrong and other people can be hurt.
Seduce her and marry her lol :D
Hahaha... I'm only 26 years old, never had a girlfriend, she's more than 50 years old, not my type and probably goes to jail soon, so... No.. I would rather marry one I truly love and not for the stuff they have, I'm not a gold digger xD
That's a pity to hear, but I hope that it will all end up fine and you could continue living there.
I hope so too and if it goes well I can start working on things I always wanted to work with like my story, improve the apartment, put more work on this website and so on.
Talk about life giving you lemons...best of luck, dude.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Good luck and never loose hope! Everything will be fixed
Many thank dude, I really hope they will approve the application.
I hope she'll return the favor of buying this place at such a low price from your family.
Alcohol can be really nasty. I've seen a guy turning from a normal family man to a total wreck in 5 years. The point where it gets wrong is when people start drinking alone. When this happens, one should know that a threshold is being crossed.
Yeah, but is not easy to help one that doesn't want the help either.
