....running through my mind these days. How can a person be busy with activities they enjoy, and surrounded by family / friends who love them, but still be unsure about virtually everything in life?
So, when I need to think, I retreat into my little world, listen to music (downloaded some great stuff for the Ipod, including "Let My Love Open the Door", which also makes me really want to go see the new Steve Carrell movie), watch some movies (I heart Movie Village, and I've seen some really good flicks in the past couple of weeks - Lord of War, The Manchurian Candidate, Marathon Man), watch some television (I've recently discovered Big Love, and while I'm definitely the jealous type and could never be involved in a polygamous relationship myself, I do love the show - Jeanne Tripplehorn rocks!).
One of the things I've been pondering of late is that - at this stage in my life (ie. single) - if I do want to think about purchasing property in Winnipeg, I may start looking at some condos in the downtown. A co-worker of mine has this amazing loft in the Exchange (stone walls, hardwood floors, high ceilings - all in all, an amazing space). Question is....do I want to make the commitment of purchasing property right now?? My first instinct is no. What's holding me back? I guess I always thought when I finally took out a mortgage, I'd be doing it with a husband / boyfriend....but I'm 32, still single, and have realized lately that's likely how I'm destined to live out the rest of my life. So, no reason to procrastinate any longer, right?

Especially if you think you'll stick around in Winnipeg for awhile, I think buying property makes the most sense - single or not.
I would suggest buying. If your situation changes and then its not right for you, you always have the option of selling, or leasing it out.

Don't buy a condo.
Continue renting.
If you buy and your circumstances change (marriage, employment relocation, unemployment,) you'll be paying two real estate commissions...
If you want to benefit from the "investment" potential of real estate, you should be buying into US real estate investment trusts (REITs). US, rather than Canada because the US dollar is so weak.
Sounds like you and your friend with the sugar shack should shake 'n bake.
