We are coming down for our 2nd lifestyle visit on Tuesday.
There are some really beautiful new homes availlable for good prices so I know we'll be tempted to listen to the "Bad Angel".

So our question is............
Did you buy in haste and regret at your liesure or did you buy in haste and never look back?
We would appreciate sharing your experiences.

WE thought about renting, but bought instead in 2007. We have two dogs and a cat, and I didn't want a hassle about animals when we tried to rent. Also, I wanted our own comfortable and clean king-size bed to sleep in.

We bought quickly, held out for a great deal, and have never regretted it for one second.

Your Bad Angel is telling you the truth .. You ain't getting any younger. And a long and healthy life isn't promised to any of us.
