that's what my husband always said @pastbastard
as a wife, i nagged him too much for getting us our own home, as renting is nuts here in Canada and we are in the north, far from everywhere, and everything is super expensive, as in grocery and properties! crazy. a house that should only worth around 200-300 K in other parts of Canada, would cost almost a million in our small city of only 20k people and the amount of realtors? unbelievable, thriving for sure but one can see how the houses aren't that good, yet these realtors could sell, sell, sell, its crazy.
