Totally bummed

So today we were going back and forth about signing the contract on this house because we got the contractor to actually figure the numbers on how much to fix it before we could move on in and it was 1250 dollars plus the actual money to get into the house!!! Now remember that is just to make it some-what livable!!!! Its not all of what NEEDS to be done. We were so upset but decided to just do it because the guy(whom we were told by everyone is not good to do business with) kept changing the amount to get into the house. Not only that he kept changing the time it was all due. We thought we had it all figured out and then today he said no i need money by Tuesday!!! TUESDAY!!! I just now started my job and Franco gets paid tomorrow, but his pay check is low this time and we have more bills than money. So we were like we don't even know what to expect next time we talk to this owner. Who know maybe he will say,"Give me the money today or you don't get the house!" So we were like you know 1250 dollars is enough to get a car or go with or income taxes to pay of credit cards or a nice car also. Well yeah so I'm totally bummed. We just said no and know we are probably gonna just rent for a little while. It will all work out though. I know it is for the best because today when we were going back and forth i prayed and i asked god to give me sign if it wasn't the right thing to do for us right now. That he did. I thank him for that because not only was buying a house a huge step to add all the repairs on who knows what kind of trouble we could have got into. Well i love you all it is just another milestone to cross before really starting our life as a married couple.
