3% annual appreciation on a house? And this was written in 2007? What world was the author living in?

And where are the high yield accounts? Online banks currently brag about their 1.5% interest rate on savings accounts. Big whoop.

So true. Too many impulse purchases are made seeking instant gratification. If we follow the example of Family 2 we will be more fiscally responsible.

Lovely post, you really highlighted a great point about patience and the value of tempered investment.

I also believe that on any purchase you should take a week to think about it. Even better…..A month!

Of course buying a home impulsively would seem ludicrous, but you’d be surprised how often it happens.

very interesting – kinda makes me wish we had done the same thing with buying more of a starter home.
