Homes are the new boots. I buy cheap hotdogs for meat, and cheap cars that I drive into the ground to get my money's worth out of them, but I can't afford to pay rent. I've been almost homeless for the last year. But, I just bought a house a few days ago. I bought it super cheap, and it needs a lot of work that I'm doing myself. I still can't afford to pay rent, not because I couldn't, but because it's a waste of money. I didn't think twice about buying this house because it was a fantastic deal. 5 years from now I will have spent less than someone that is still one payment away from being evicted if they miss a rent payment.
