Is it time to say "it's time"?

I've been house hunting for the past three weeks, and I can't help thinking what kind of place should I be looking for really. Should I go for a shared flat or a flat for myself only? ... Should I go for the pretty expensive ones, or for the older and cheaper ones?

After 4 years living in student shared houses in England, and with a Ph.D. on my shoulders, I wonder if isn't now the time for comfort. On the other hand, being in a strange city doesn't give me enough certainty of whether I'll live here long enough -- and thus the expensive renting investment might not be worthwhile.

Leaving the specifics aside, when do you know when it's time to say "it's time!" .. time for starting things you've been delaying for a number of reasons; time to give yourself some special treatment; time to take some time off... ?

I don't expect any answers from you reader -- this is just something I felt like sharing with you, since it is one of those questions that people face many times in their lives (if you haven't yet!). Another (yet selfish) reason for this post is that writing helps me think in some way :)

Anyhow, when you're sure that the time is right, saying "it's time!" must be a wonderful feeling!

I know you don't expect answers, but an opinion won't hurt.

Well I guess doubts are typical within wise people, who spend more time thinking before doing things.

Smallest IQs usally prefer some Nike tagline lifestyle "Just do it" without wasting much time considering all the points.

That's the curse, the doom of the intelligent people.

At least in life your deadline is much farther than in adverstising.
