dont ike exactly how you stated that. the homes dont make the people, the people make the homes...

"the educated people' live there? I forgot to mention that i have 2 college degrees.

Accounting
Business Management

maybe those "educated" people who live above their means arent exactly as educated as they may seem.

But i understand what your saying, im just an advocate for saving as much as you can, so you arent paying SOO much in interest. id hate to look back after 15 years and add up that i paid 220k for my 120k home that is now worth 100-120k.. what could you do with 100k in15 years? Build a dynasty.
