major dilemma *UPDATE*

with much thought, we decided to go with the honeymoon... the place we wanted to buy from gave us a lot of drama which made us decide to walk away from the deal. we also saw that although a place of our own is an investment, this place probably won't rake in the $$$ as much as a place closer to the city where we work. we're going to wait til after the wedding and honeymoon and find a better place by the end of the year. we're going to go to our *once in a lifetime* honeymoon and enjoy ourselves as MR. & MRS. D.

Thank you so much for all your advice ladies, it was a tough decision, but I know we will definitely be happier... there's a time and place for everything.. with all the crap the people from this place gave us, we realized that it's not worth it.





updated from:
so FH and i were supposed to close on this new condo we've been after for the last few months now with 5% down and us covering like $15k of closing (which was estimated to be around $35k but the seller was giving a 20k concession towards closing). however, the mortgage company we were dealing with screwed us over and even after getting a mortgage commitment, the deal with them fell thru.

so the sponsors of the condo got a new mortgage broker and they're working out a way for us to put down 10% and have our closing covered...

BUT with 10% down and closing covered, we're paying and extra $8k out of pocket.

we can't borrow $ from our parents cos they're already helping a LOT to pay for the wedding.

the only thing to cut back on for us to afford the condo is our honeymoon...

if we cancel our DREAM HM to tahiti, moorea, bora bora, then we'd have the $11k to use for the condo.

do i... cancel on the house? or cancel on the HM? it's so depressing..i wish i could have both, but yeah that's life...

any advice?
