yes Debbie, point taken- I definitely appreciate where you are coming from, and understand I sound like a spoiled brat that I want a house and can’t afford one. There are MUCH worse things in life, and I have seen a few, grateful that I have not seen everything.
I'm just explaining that I DO understand the constant nagging in your head to buy, buy, and buy. My generation is steeped in commercialism and I am a product of the middle class American dream.
In the grand scheme of things, on the priority list of my life, owning a home is really not even in the top 5 of life goals. Learning and accepting myself, finding love, staying healthy, staying out of debt and living according to an internal set of morals and ethics are my big priorities.
I am very lucky to have achieved some of this list, and of course the list is always a work in progress, never to be completed. (I think I should add humility to the list, I have noticed I am turning a bit too comfortable in my lifestyle..Above post is a shining example)
But in my big, grand scheme of commercialism purchases in my life, owning a home is #1. Right now at this point in my life. Working toward this goal for so many years has produced a one track mind for me. So I empthasize with scrimpnsave, and that’s the point I am trying to stress.
