When people say they will never own a home, I always wonder how will they afford ever increasing rental payments when they are retired and on a fixed income?<br /><br />Part of the benefit of owning a home is having a near free place to live by the age of retirement; provided the home is paid off.Myra Jhttp://overthrowstatusquo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436155035740778098.post-28776501465706905122011-03-30T11:43:13.225-07:002011-03-30T11:43:13.225-07:00Thank you both for the comments!

Our landlords were looking for a "forever family" to move in, so I feel like we're "firmly planted". :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436155035740778098.post-76540496836051982832011-03-26T16:50:15.761-07:002011-03-26T16:50:15.761-07:00First, I wanted to say that I love your blog! I...First, I wanted to say that I love your blog! I'm a married mom of 2, and we live a sort of nontraditional lifestyle. Husband was laid off in 2008, and we took advantage of the timing for him to return to college and be a stay at home dad. I'm the breadwinner, and blessed to work from home 100%. Some think we're crazy for how we live, because we share one car and cook on the cheap, grow what we can, and use every trick in the book to live a frugal lifestyle that is really lots of fun. We're a very close family, and involve our kids in saving, talk to them about setting goals for your life and your finances, and being very honest with them about our past financial mistakes. We bought our second house last year, we had moved a few years earlier and needed to be in a good school district and wanted another home of our own. We feel that it is crazy to allow for more than 500 square feet per person, that's more than most people in the whole world have, anyways! We set the price we wanted to pay for a house and told our loan agent we didn't want to know how much the bank thought we could afford. After some patience, we found the perfect house for us. It's been great to do the work ourselves, and we barter with service people or family members for the things we can't do on our own. Having a great lifestyle on a strict budget is very achievable and tremendously rewarding. I'm thankful for my family, for my husband who is such a great partner, and my faith for reminding me every day of the value of all these moments together. Thank you for your tips, please keep writing, and I'm so glad you're sharing your story! Sorry for the novel, just wanted to send you some blogland love :-)katy @ flyovermommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657491085844318312noreply@blogger.com
