Am I a worrier or just one of my gifts being able to think of all the worse case scenarios about what can happen if I am imprisoned in my own house one day?
I blog a lot (refer to my SFC Real Estate News and Articles) advising readers to buy landed property instead of apartment as an investment option. In fact, it is worse if one chooses to live in an apartment, even if it is a lifestyle choice.
Many downsizers choose to live in apartment because it is compact and easy to maintain. Unless it is a reasonable size apartment, the confined space may not be ideal if one is locked in and cannot get out to the open to appreciate that sense of “freedom”.
The coronavirus pandemic causes many countries to lock down, and residents are not allowed to get out of the dwelling.
In my early days, I always chose to live in a house with a backyard in own enclosed compound, no matter how small it was. Another criterion was to have additional space internally, so that I would not be moving between my room and just the kitchen. Oh yes, the kitchen must have a door, and should be as big or may be slightly smaller than a smallest bedroom in the house.
I probably will go bonkers if the suburban lockdown is to take effect. Fortunately, I have many hobbies and interest keep me going. I can also stretch my arms and legs in my garden, or when I feel like releasing my frustration of the entrapment, I can just unforgivingly pull the weeds in the garden beds or walk paths.
My home is my castle. It has protective external walls, but I do like to get out of the front door or back door from time to time to breathe in fresh air and listen to the chirping of the birds. Have I told you I have a pond full of gold fish (carp). It is so relaxing to watch them gulping down the fish pellets I throw in during their dinner time.
Thank you for reading.
