My son who is 35 has been looking for a house for 3 months and regrets not buying a year ago when it was half the price in his area. If you think you're going to stay healthy then work a few more years and try to put some more money away but you should start taking longer vacations!

years ago there used to be a guy on the radio his name was Bruce Williams I think , when people would ask him for retirement advice mentioning when they planned on doing it and how much they would get for there house , Bruce would always stop them and say , no that’s not what you’ll get for your home, you’ll get what that person pays you for that home at that time , You never know about prices if you love a home and can buy it do so , especially here in villages , just live the nice life you can have here and don’t worry about how much or how little YOUR HOME IS WORTH
