Participant[quote=rent4now]aargghh…
you guys are probably right but the house is so nice…ha[/quote]
Probably a nice house at a particularly good price because . . . . it doesn’t have a great yard. And thinking down the line, it’s a lot easier to sell a house with a desirable yard. We sold our house in CV in 2007 and it had a great big yard. Even though the economy was bad even then, we had a bidding war and ended up with 3 almost full price offers. And the house didn’t have (in my opinion) great curb appeal or a great layout, but it did have a great yard. Something to think about . . . .
ParticipantIMHO, you will regret it. Our kids are now 7,9 and 11, but we are dependent on a yard where the kids can be outside without total supervision. When your kids get older, if you have a yard they can play outside while you get something done inside. If your only choice is a park, one parent will always have to go to the park with them, which is less likely.

Participant[quote=jstoesz]Why would Ford be a publically traded company if not for greater acces to capital?
[/quote]
Possibly because at some point the Ford family wanted cash rather than stock in their own company. And then the person who had the Ford stock wanted something else, and so on . . . Although I understand the value of access to capital, at times it seems like the stock market is a bit of a game of hot potato, with everyone hoping to buy low and sell high, while knowing that that is impossible.

People believe that having kids makes them happy.
It’s just the way it’s done and the example set by society. So people do it to conform.

Not to sound sappy, but having kids (3) did make me happy. It makes me happy every day just to see them running around happy and healthy and funny and cute. Which is not to say that sometimes I don’t flip out over how messy and self centered they can be. My husband makes me happy, too. Which also sounds sappy, but it’s true.
We had kids when we were in our late 30s, prior to which I had had a pretty stressful career in a very male dominated field, so I don’t really feel like I’m much of a conformist. In fact, most of my same-age friends had kids long before I did or not at all. So – some people have kids because they really want them, and they marry people because they really love them. I think there are a lot of those people, but for whatever reason they don’t get much press.
