A house is a big liability

I think it is better than being homeless and sleep on the streets. We are still bless not to suffer with extreme cold or heat outside. We still have a little privacy at home, and we can still have a great rest no matter how sometimes it is a bit noisy at home, but you feel safe than sleeping somewhere else. Let us just be thankful on what we have.

Is it really, though? While making payments to the lender, you're building equity in the property. You don't have to talk to a landlord to get permission to repaint anything. Don't like the color your walls are? Want to go bold and paint a few walls orange? Go down to the hardware store and grab some paint to do it! Sure, you're responsible for repairs, but those are expected costs. If you're smart about it, you set enough money aside each month to cover big expenses when they come up--and you had a home inspection done before buying to make sure there was nothing major that was going to be an issue really soon. Then again, I'm one of those people who's not afraid of tackling home improvement projects myself... so I'll happily go to YouTube, Pinterest, or a blog with good tutorials to find instructions on how to fix a problem that comes up. After watching my parents (who were in their 60's and 70's at the time) do all the framing, sheetrock, roofing, and so on in their home while building it, I really feel like there's no excuse to hire contractors to do things that I could do myself.
