Which path will Dustin2TO take - help him decide

February 16 2010, 9:29am

This article has been re-posted from http://www.dustin2to.com. I’m at a crossroads in my own mind. I feel as though I have only two options when it comes to moving to Toronto and I am having a very hard time deciding what to do. In my mind I’ve divided all possibilities into two categories, the right/responsible way or the my/fun way. The right/responsible way would see me sell my truck, get a mortgage, buy a condo, and make sure everything was prearranged and organized for my arrival in Toronto. I would live in a nice place with nice neighbors and nice furniture. The other way, the my/fun way would see me work the next few weeks, finish what I have to do in Winnipeg, load up my truck and drive out to Toronto. I would maybe leave on a Friday morning so I would get there on Saturday, find a cheap apartment to rent, find someplace to store the truck and get to work. Some might say the second scenario sounds scary but to me it sounds far less scary than the first. After two years in Toronto I would have less equity with the second plan but I would have more money in my pocket. But on the first plan I would appear more mature - I guess? I’m looking for some help here, please don’t hesitate to offer me your suggestions or encouragement one way or the other.
