Ready to adopt?

If you're thinking of moving to the burbs and buying a house, you really need to ask yourself just one question: are we ready to adopt?

Owning a house, I've discovered, is like adopting a new family member.

A house is really a living entity. It's alive and it's in flux.

That means you need to treat it like a member of the family. You need to fit it into your monthly budget, you need to buy it new clothes (paint jobs), you need to make appointments for it (plumber, electrician, gardner, carpenter), it grows old and the older it is the more care it needs. The truth is a house almost needs daily attention in order to keep its value.

So if you're a family of four ready to make the big move, ask yourself are you ready to be a family of five?
