Given the money you've made, you should have an awesome down payment for a house. Are you shooting for 20% down? Houses in the Midwest are super cheap, which is nice. [Reply]

Home ownership is a financial bitch. Seems like something is always needing to be replaced and my house isn't even that old!
I hate the idea of pissing money away on rent, but with the current housing prices and these kinds of things I can't deal with, I think I'll be a tenant for the foreseeable future. :-) [Reply]

I'm just working to live in a van down by the river.
No taxes, easy maintenance, paid off so no mortgage, drive to new scenary all the time, few neighbors, no water bill to wash and poop in the river, solar panels and Dish on roof.
Downside; coyotes, bears, bugs and Bigfoot.
Pros: Easy to lure fatties and hippie chicks. :-) [Reply]
