What a good dad!! I loved this story and the photo :) I love that your son brings you into the decision and that you had some wonderful advice for him.
It's so tough for this generation to get started in the housing market. I'm a boomer and it was tough for us too - the mortgage rates went to over 20% at one time. We didn't get our house until our kids were in their pre teens.
We still have a mortgage! But our investment is good and we have more that what we owe.
Thanks for sharing !
Exactly ! I know its harder for the generation today and yes the houses were cheaper when I was looking to move out, but I think they don't realize that we had hard as well. I was only getting paid 6.50 an hour when I was looking for a house but I also know are house was bought as an investment for the future and has gone up a lot in the 35 years owning it. I don't know how much of a investment houses will be in the future with prices so high ..
$6.50 an hour....yikes. And you settled into a house? Good going!!! You still in the same one ?
