Yes, I am sensitive. Having kids young has made me be more responsible. One of the Doctors that saw me in the hospital after my 2nd child was born said,”So, what High school do you go to?” I laughed and replied that I was 23! It turns out the girl next door was in high school.
Believe it or not but being a young family we still encounter people who can’t understand why we had our children then or would ask me if I got pregnant first and then got married. How rude! Nope, we got married young and then we started having our family. We like taking our kids to the local parks. I sure wouldn’t want to buy one of those $20,000 play sets for my yard! I’ll just take my kids out everyday!
I’m very glad that we’ve had to go through times of being very poor and learning how to budget. My husband worked retail while finishing college and the customers would chew him out on a daily basis – especially the RE agents! He worked at a printing and copying store and the RE agents couldn’t bear to part with a few cents for a copy! They were making great commission back then! That is why he’d just smile and think of how soon the bubble would burst and it would be his turn. The whole experience of working our way through school and learning things the hard way has helped us define needs and wants. Yes, I want a big huge house on a hill with an oceanview! Do I need it? No! I think that is also whats wrong with some of the buyers. Many have a sense of entitlement. I’ll just stay here for as long as I can possibly stand it and save my money! I think my rent is less than local property taxes so its like I’m here for free!
