My husband and I learned this early in our, so far, 40 year marriage. Thanks to a realtor when we bought our first and current house. Base your mortgage on one income, he said wisely, so you have choices. Babies came, we lived simply all our lives, lower than our income could afford, even though our income was never high. Kids grew up, we both retired in our 50's. Still content to live simply, still with choices. One 5 wooded acres with a garden, blueberry field, bee hives and a horse. Five grandkids to spoil. Our house is nothing to be proud of, but our lifestyle is satisfying. Your story confirmed this for me. Thanks, Techno-Fog.
