If I had enough money to buy either a house or a business, I’d buy a house. A business may succeed or fail. It’s also possible I might change my mind about what I want to do with my business. However, a home is a lifetime investment.
Right now, I’m living in a small apartment with barely enough room for everything. All my furniture and things I’ve accumulated since I left college barely fit. I have no space left in my closet. This means my clothes are always wrinkled because they’re cluttered together. I don’t have any place to put my cleaning supplies, nor room for more than one set of sheets and towels. A new house would mean a lot more room for all these things.
I love having plants around. It’s very healthy for the air inside and it’s cheerful to have living things growing in my room. I’d like to have a garden. That way, I could grow a lot of different kinds of plants and flowers, and I could have a vegetable garden in the summer.
Besides having a garden, I’d like to have a backyard with lots of trees and a small fountain in the corner. I love watching birds and listening to them sing. On the windowsill of my apartment, I would put out bird seed every morning. In the summer, I would put out a thin tin plate with water in it for the birds. Having trees and a fountain in my backyard would be nice, but they’d really be for the birds. The trees would give them a place to nest, and the fountain would be a source of fresh water.
Can you picture my dream house? A business would only give me money. A house would give me someplace special to live my life. |
