The Kid, The Scientist, and The Marshmallow

Have you ever heard the story about the kid, the scientist and the marshmallow?
Anyways the story goes something like this:
A scientist decides to conduct an experiment on the patience of a child. He brings the child into a room sits him down at a table and puts a marshmallow in front of him. The scientist then tells the child that "I'm going to leave now. You may have this marshmallow if you want it, but if you don't eat it and wait until I come back, I will give you 2 more marshmallows." Then walks out the door.
There are some children who would immediately pop the marshmallow into their mouth and not even give it a second thought, but then there's this kid.
He twiddles his thumbs and sighs, then tries to entertain himself in any way possible as he waits for the nice man in the white jacket to come back. Why? Because he knows that if he can be patient, something better is to come of it.

Story of my life lately.

We have a decision. We can try to get a house now but have to pay more to do it, or, we can wait until February and save money and potentially get a better house then.
New curveball, but we know that if we are patient something better is to come.
