Or… you could jump over the whole housing bubble mess by not mortgaging yourself into eternity. Much less stressful that way….Hello Cathy clan! Happy Saturday! I hope you’re enjoying it!
My first home was rented initially but the landlord allowed us to basically “rent to own.” We paid about 11,000 for it, no mortgage needed. Of course it’s not in the greatest area and if we ever sell it, if it sells, it won’t be for much.
Hi Cathy clan! Happy Saturday! @lightenup Glad you made it back okay!
Cathy and Irving: have “champagne taste” all you want. But if you’ve only got a “beer budget,” then you’re much better off buy-ing the “beer house.” Spending more money on a house than you can possibly afford to pay off in your lifetime just because some dumb bank will loan it to you only ensures you’ll slave away at your jobs forever until the day you die instead of being able to retire someday so that you can properly enjoy life together — all for an expensive house you don’t really need and simply can’t afford. Believe me when I say that you’ll congratulate yourselves later for making such a wise decision if you do . . . or kicking yourselves later if you don’t!

Their “new home” eyes are bigger than their “wallet”, as they say.

Um … I think I’ll just stay in my personal bubble, thank-you-very-much—as far away from this nut-job realtor as possible …
By the way—can anyone make out the title on whatever Irving is reading? I zoomed WAY in, but still no luck. Thanks.
HI, MOM. Greetings, “Cathy” Clan.
