My plane tickets cost me $5 since I cashed in a wad of frequent flyer miles. Quite the savings over the nearly $400 it was going to cost otherwise. :)

OMG! I truly understand! We've been living here since '98, and we're still fixing up. We had major kitchen floor damage because of termites. Our floor literally dipped in the middle because the beams under were so bad. Just had to have our septic tank replaced this year because it was a metal tank and not up to code. Yep, homeowning is a scary thing! I still say it beats renting. I just feel that is money you're flushing down the commode. I know people who are paying only a few hundred dollars less per month than me and they are only renting.

At least septic tanks are something we won't have to worry about. *blink*

Our rent is dirt cheap because the guy who owns the house can't be bothered to find out what the neighborhood can demand. We will just almost triple our monthly payment when we buy if we want to stay in this neighborhood. That puts a serious crimp in things like excessive travel budgets. Which I know will be worth it, but I do like to plan these 10 day visits to see friends, hunky Stargate actors, and fine art. Of course, what we *should* have been doing is saving it all up so that we'd have more options at this point.

That's great that you don't have to pay too much for rent! When you buy a home, you'll figure out how to make it work so you can still have some fun!

You know what? Life wouldn't be any fun if we didn't spend some money on the fun things we like to do. Hunky Stargate actors are a must! ;-P
