So romantic.

For the most part not differently than a pair of romantically involved people.

Its not the most romantic thought but really marriage is a serious contract.

I realize that I'm going to have to divorce myself from a lot of "romantic ideas" about a cozy A-Frame to use as I please, and start looking at it more objectively.

It's not romantic and it's not fun and there may be some hurt feelings on both sides, but in my opinion, hammering out these kinds of things is absolutely crucial before you make that kind of commitment.  

THE FIVE LAWS OF GOLD from The Richest Man in Babylon by George ClasenGold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar, or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.

That's not as romantic as starting off as an entrepreneur at 17 and somehow finding fortune, but the best way to chase after a dream is to sit down and do the work you can do now rather than putting it off until tomorrow. 

I'm a romantic, I guess.

I know it is romantic to think otherwise but you buying a property is not really "helping".  

@Kimberly Jones For some reason, that sounds more fun and slightly romantic, especially for your area!
