When I was a child, I vividly remember playing " HOUSE" with my friends. (OK I bet you are wondering if I also played "doctor" and that is a subject for another blog!)
Back to the subject at hand... Playing house was great fun. You could do it anywhere! In the yard, piling leaves into rooms, in the basement sectioning off peoples bedrooms with whatever your imagination desired. We also created houses in tents made from blankets and sheets. We even made snow houses!
At the park we would make imaginary houses with sticks and stones. " This is the kitchen, here is the living room..." It was magical.
Why do we play house?
I believe it is because each of us possesses an inate dream of home ownership. From the time we are children we begin wondering what it would be like to have our very own house!
The dream is still alive, and still possible. I would like us all to shake off the dreary and limiting words of the media and the oppressive restrictions of the mortgage industry and the doomsdayers and naysayers of the economy.
CREATE YOUR OWN ECONOMY.
If you dream of owning a home, or buying a different home, don't allow the market to control your personal decisions. Truthfully, this is an amazing market for buyers!
If you wonder if you can ever own a home, DON'T GIVE UP! Keep saving, guarding your credit score, and keep your eye on the prize.
Remember the child in you that played "House" and keep dreaming, planning and researching.
Life is short... buy your own piece of the world...
