Peer pressure from family and friends can be a powerful thing. Of course we are concerned with how other people view or percieve us and we have a desire to be liked, respected and somewhat admired. While wanting to be accepted and look good to others, it is probably harmless most of the time, but this tendency can get you into trouble when it comes to major purchases like that big beautiful home in Surprise, Arizona with the pool and BBQ island and all the amenties that you have always wanted!
You are going to have to take a step back and really consider what you can afford, and make sure you can afford that beautiful home. You might find that buying that amazing home could be too much of a financial stretch for you right now. You would barely qualify for it and you would be struggling to make the mortgage payments every month. If you had a financial crisis, you could get into trouble very quickly and have your dream home taken away. Your best financial decision would be to buy a smaller home that you could easily afford, that is still lovely and has some of the important things that you and your family love and still be comfortable.
So now you need to decide: what is more important, to have that home that would be a financial stretch and impress your friends, or the smaller home that you do like that is a better fit for your budget? Many people have not made the correct decision when faced with this situation and have created undue stress and financial hardship on their family.
The main point here is to buy that home in Surprise, Arizona that best suits your budget and your needs and enjoy life and not try to impress your family and friends! Your friends might have a higher income than you do, or buying a larger home that is really beyond their means, but don't let that affect your decision when purchasing your home. Do what is best for you financially...you will be glad in the long run. Also, if your friends judge you for buying a smaller home, then they really aren't your friends....right??
Here is some good advice. Purchase a home in Surprise, Arizona that suits your budget and your needs, not your friends or family's. Don't let peer pressure or the opinion or perception of others influence your decisions.
