I'll really have to research buying a home a
lot more before I jump right in.
I work for a nonprofit agency, so I don't have a 401k, but the nonprofit equivelent. The way our retirement account is set up, I can't contribute anything to it, so that's why I opened a Roth.
I wish I had a family member who had the money to lend...but it's all me!

that's ok, I prefer it that way anyway.
Russell, I have a Fix Or Repair Daily, and it's had a ton done to it. I just passed the 100,000 mile marker, and my car make isn't really known for its longevity. That's why I'm a little nervous!
