Making Life Decisions

I spoke to a very wise man today about the uncertainty I have about my future-- specifically: where and how I want to live and what I want to do, professionally and personally...  and he gave me three pieces of advice:

1. Buying a home will give you LESS freedom than you have from renting (unless you buy really cheap in a good neighborhood, and then you can rent it out and make a profit every month).
2. Analyze your fears to find out what you REALLY should be doing. 
3. Once you think you know what and where you should be, find the TRUE motivation behind it, don't just go with the idea.

I think this is good advice that I will consider immediately.
