If i could afford even 30 to 50 thou more, i wouldn’t be in a bidding war over substandard properties. sigh. and renting, sheesh. rents around here are more than house payments. Unless i want a 50 to 75 mile one-way commute. blergh.oh well! looking on the bright side, it hasn’t snowed yet!Heh, the BRIGHT side is YOU ARE EMPLOYED!!! And likely to be so, for a while.The rest is just coping skills.Others, are not renting, are unemployed, and using cardboard boxes for shelter.Patience, gal, patience. Just keep that OT and bank it ALL cuz yer gonna NEED it for the rainy daze!!I just can’t imagine buying into something in these econ and job climes.Not when your income is dependent upon someone ELSE’s business.Wishin yer eye well, and your dreams, too.
