Can’t we all just get a loan? (Sorry, couldn’t resist….)

TG, you are still hilarious. Scaredycat’s post made me laugh too. I live the “super cheap” life and I have to say, it’s great for removing stress and providing freedom. You have to be very anti keeping up with the Joneses though which I will agree that many women can’t do (I have to remind my husband how lucky he is sometimes). And I firmly believe that young children do not care what type of house/condo/apartment you own or rent or what size it is as long as they are cared for and loved. Some of my best childhood memories are from the 6 months that our family rented an apartment in between buying houses. The house my parents bought was 4000 sq. ft. and the apartment was probably 1000. After we moved to the house, we weren’t as close literally and emotionally.
