I’m at an 8….waaaaay bitter. Not because I did not buy but because with prices so out of whack I won’t. What a total waste of time. I would love to buy a home for my wife and family. Nothing wrong with renting but owning would be better if the price was reasonable. All of the silliness in the bubble has forced the financially prudent folks to have sit and wait this out. I would have been perfectly content with no bubble or huge price run up. Now I have to wait and watch the huge price run down in order have my piece of the american dream. Time is the most precious commodity known, you don’t get anymore when its all over. All this bubble accomplished was wasting everyones TIME.

I am bitter about the time wasted while this sorts itself out. I will buy eventually but the bubble has also taken about 4-5 years off of me owning my own home…that makes me bitter.
