Kids don’t give a rats ass!!! I have a 3 and 5 year old and we sold our house in 2006 and have rented in three different houses since. We could go pay cash today for a house, BMW, RV, and all of the other “status” symbols of wealth. But is that going to make my children more intelligent, kind, considerate? Will it make them more successful? Heck no! The fact that I will be able to stay home with my chidren and my husband and I are active participants in their lives is so much more important in their future. We are renting because it makes financial sense to do so.
A house is just four walls and a roof…a family makes a home!
And to Marion….you are right I don’t get it!
“That is why when women start having children, the majority of them insist their husbands purchase a home. When there are children to think of, they no longer want to rent unless they absolutely have to”
And this would probably be why the divorce rate is so high…pay less attention to your material things and more to your family.
