We rent a tiny apt, and people(family, friends, anyone) are pressuring us to buy, buy buy! We are hesitant for those very reasons, thanks for sharing!!Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724400972586366442.post-8789494069709307242009-04-07T07:54:00.000-07:002009-04-07T07:54:00.000-07:00I enjoyed reading this. Mistakes I would not make...I enjoyed reading this. Mistakes I would not make again:<BR/>1. Upgrading from our previous house when we moved. We had the money and the means and so we upgraded. Now we think we have slightly too much house and would rather pay our mortgage off earlier than keep up with the Joneses.<BR/>2. Buying just because it's on sale or dirt cheap. Early in our marriage my Hubby and I would entertainment shop at a salvage store and leave with a cart load of things because they were cheap. A lot of that stuff ended up getting donated or thrown away.<BR/>3. Cheaping out on the car insurance. We've been burned by this twice. Once when we only had liability and thought we could easily replace our old car. We did replace it but with a much newer car instead of buying a similar replacement. And now we don't have underinsured driver coverage and we'll end up paying OOP for some of Hubby's medical bills.<BR/><BR/>Live and learn.Jenny's Vegcafehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822613057446516660noreply@blogger.com
