(like tamara said, you never know what they are going to do)<BR/><BR/>All the other decorating and maintenance costs add up fast- and there are a lot of days when I want to just sell my house and move into an apartment (with no roommates)<BR/><BR/>But- I think that having a house is a very good step to feeling like you are progressing and moving forward in life.M.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09546131957413554218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12156069.post-1139417578877625012006-02-08T09:52:00.000-07:002006-02-08T09:52:00.000-07:00I too struggle with wanting a house, or I guess I ...I too struggle with wanting a house, or I guess I should say I did struggle but then I went back to school which has decreased those longings. I guess knowing it is unrealistic right now, but that being a poor student will actually make being a homeowner more realistic eventually, makes the waiting easier. <BR/><BR/>I haven't seen your apartment in quite a while but I'm sure it is very warm and homey and personalized because that's who you are. But maybe it's kinda like when you are growing out your hair and you feel like if you don't change something you'll go crazy so you color it and that staves off the craving to cut for a while. Maybe there is a stop-gap measure like that. I know when I was in college, my roommate and I used to joke about wanting a ceramic canister set. It signified being stable enough to have an extra (heavy) item to hold flour that could just be held in its own bag or, if being extravagant, a tupperware container. It also signified having few enough roommates to take up extra counter space. Maybe you could find things like this and do those things while waiting for the right time and the right house. And when it's time, I can't wait to see The House That NB Built, because it will be loved and beautiful.Hey, It's Ansleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389503231486327653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12156069.post-1139281476203892872006-02-06T20:04:00.000-07:002006-02-06T20:04:00.000-07:00SWG (Star Wars Galaxies, one of the precursors to ...SWG (Star Wars Galaxies, one of the precursors to WoW) let you own your own home. You could pick the location and decorate it and everything. WoW doesn't let you have homes, yet. So stick with RL (real-life) on this one.<BR/><BR/>And you don't need to have a lot of money, in savings, to buy a house. But you really do need to have the income to make the payments. There are a lot of foreclosures on the market. You want to buy one of those without becoming one later on. I'm meeting with my realtor tomorrow as a matter of fact, to look over a few places.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08388979017479608309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12156069.post-1139268217764099862006-02-06T16:23:00.000-07:002006-02-06T16:23:00.000-07:00i just made the realization that i, too, am ready ...i just made the realization that i, too, am ready to slowly start the house/condo search. apartment life is bringing me down...way down. good luck!<BR/><BR/>- tawnyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12156069.post-1139266257865616532006-02-06T15:50:00.001-07:002006-02-06T15:50:00.001-07:00ummm.... yeeeahhh....i don't think the comment box...ummm.... yeeeahhh....<BR/>i don't think the comment box allows me enough room to discuss this. you know that i'm a house person. it is a growing love/hate relationship. <BR/>i love having a place to call my own, to renovate, and to use as an investment. and then there all the hates: making sure the lawn is mowed, not being able to have someone else fix or pay for your problems, renters/roommates leaving before you want them to, hot water heaters breaking and leaking all over your basement carpets, taking several days off of work for the leaking tub to be replaced. ugh.<BR/>but NB... everyone deserves a house to love/hate. everyone. it's a relationship worth investing in! i love, love, love my cute houses so much and hate the idea of ever parting with them! just like any other relationship, the growing pains are worthwhile.<BR/>let me know if you want to chat about this. i can totally geek out on this topic, y'know?Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604512842392443861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12156069.post-1139266213478439292006-02-06T15:50:00.000-07:002006-02-06T15:50:00.000-07:00Adam's advice would be to build on WoW.

Right about now I can barely afford my own magical room in someone else's condo. I watch The Home & Garden Network with more love and attention than I pay to my scriptures or boyfriend. (that may just show how lame I am, not how great the network is, which isn't what I wanted to convey) Women get all nesty about seven or fifty times a year. So good luck! I know there is a dream house out there with NinnyBeth written all over it. And when you get it I will come and play in it. I will bring all my Barbies.Marianne & Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09832853294558164997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12156069.post-1139255573202848862006-02-06T12:52:00.000-07:002006-02-06T12:52:00.000-07:00You could buy a house that is higher than your pri...You could buy a house that is higher than your price range, and rent out some of the rooms to roomates to help cover the mortgage.
