Blackbox, I know there’s some humor in your comments, but let me set the record straight. My parents didn’t leave me a spec home. I am 52 years old and I had that home built for me in 1994. Since I paid it off a few years ago, practically my entire nest egg was represented by that house. That made me uncomfortable, as they say not to put all your eggs in one basket. As my kids grew up and moved out, I didn’t need such a large home anymore, so I sold. Yes, I feel fortunate to have gotten out when I did. But now I feel a little strange renting, since I haven’t rented anything since I was in my early twenties. I am not bragging about anything, just posting numbers so any of you can make informed comments. What I like about this website is how you guys (and gals) don’t hesitate to speak openly. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
