My sentiments exactly. I found myself spending much of my adult life driving around well to do neighborhoods asking myself and friends, How do people afford these homes? What do they do for a living? What kind of "jobs" do they have? Did they inherit this? Are they in debt up to their eyeballs?
In the last year, I was introduced to some answers to those questions. I would love to hear what your thoughts are here. At the end of my questions, I found a way to release some heavy burdens and find some freedom and discovered that everyday, ordinary people like myself can actually have a shot at having a home like the ones I have coveted for years.
