    Working is like that. That's why we call it work. Too bad you had a living situation that let you quit. There's a lot you could be learning right now that will carry you for the rest of your life -- like grit and persistence.

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    Your right. Raising a family in a "warm comfortable house" is nicer. I've been in RE for 47 years, so I look at it differently from you. It is a business for me. But I also like to be personally comfortable. I'm a retired RE appraiser. In commercial and residential situations, I have seen...

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    This is a two-sided question. A house is a personal expense for most people. It's like a consumable. It's expensive to maintain and gives limited benefits back other than a place to live -- until you sell it. On the other hand, for most middle-class people, it will end up being their biggest...

    How many of you play video games?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Board games did the same for my generation. Monopoly games took days in our neighborhood. Notes were taken and playing pieces were put into paper bags so the game could go on later.
