I assume our posts “crossed in the mail.” As you can see, I’ve sold and I’m renting. I own no real estate.
Despite our slight differences in opinion on RE, I think we agree on a lot of other things. My wife stays home with our daughter; she has since before birth. And I, too, am happy to spend thousands of dollars on ice skating, ballet, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, piano lessons and art class. As I occasionally say to my wife, those things (and saving for college) are the very reasons I work so hard.
