My husband and I work hard and we save more money than most. We just don't really believe is getting a few bucks and jumping up ahead in line. We believe in being happy where you are now and then earning your way up. I don't think it is awesome that others bad decisions are going to affect me when we do decide we want to buy.

The real estate business isn't easy but I'm not going to be a dummy and just jump into something. I don't think I need to pay for others that do.
Well said Jack....
