do you live in the house that you own?

My husband and I are still renting our home. We plan to buy or build eventually, but we are trying to first save a decent amount of money for a down papyment, and second, trying to allow our kids to remain in the school they are in. Here, where we live, there are 6 different elementary schools and if we were to move even a few blocks away, chances are they would have to switch schools. In our case, it is best to just wait a few more years, until they are all out of elementary school, then worry about buying or building a home.

Hello hilltrekker,

Yes, I do live in the house that my husband and I own. Why? Do you live in your own house? I think it doesnt matter where we live, as long as we are happy. Of course, in the long run, it is good to get your own place. But if we are still young, there is always time to build up our savings to get a better place. No rush when it comes to buying houses. It's not like monopoly we are playing with..
