I've been watching a lot of House Hunters for inspiration because we're building a new house in Florida and I can still change things.
I think I have to give it up because of the twenty something couples who are driving me crazy with their demands for granite and hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances in their first homes.
My first home was a starter with harvest gold appliances that I never changed because they worked.And I'm not even mentioning the crazy apartments I lived in first! (one came with a cat) Several houses later I can afford upgrades. But because we always lived on a budget we have two homes and I was able to retire at 52. Everyone complains about the economy, but this mindset is a big problem.
Our kids bought starters, put in sweat equity and moved up.
So my question is, is this happening in real life or does the show just like to create drama?
