Time for some Stephen Covey.

Circle of concern meeting circle of influence. Unless you had the financial means to rent now and then either leave the place empty or sublet, the current market situation is beyond your circle of influence.

With our plans for South Africa, we know that the coming elections may have some side effects which are detrimental to the economy there. One of my South African friends tells me that any impact will not be immediate. So, we still plan to go, but are not second guessing events.

And hell, we I’ll rent the house, rent the car and even rent the bikes. If we change our minds based on facts on the ground, plan B is Spain / Portugal.
