Despite what you’ve heard, buying a home is not for everyone. Pre-Depression, many people who shouldn’t have purchased homes in the first place, went against their better judgement by doing what “so and so” said they should do and ended up worse off for it.

The old-school home-buying rules (well, not your granny’s old school, more like 7 years ago old school) told us:

       A.      To buy as much home as we could afford, ahem, qualify for, with as little money down as possible.

       B.      To buy the biggest McMansion in the neighborhood so everyone would know we “made it.”; or

       C.    We’d always make money, because homes “always appreciated.”

Now that we know how awful that advice was, what do we do?  Well, it’s time to figure out if you happen to be one of the people who probably shouldn’t be buying a home right now.

Here are five personalities who may want to wait before they buy:

I love birthdays; mine especially. Every year for the last decade, I’ve thrown a party called a Basstravaganza! Yes, I am a Leo. Why do you ask? I feel like birthdays are the only holiday that everyone can celebrate regardless of religion or country or culture. You were born! Yay! (Unless you’re Jehovah’s Witness. Then *whispers* you were born. yay.) I’m always looking forward to my birthday and start talking about it at least a month in advance.

Hi Nikki and fam! I found this article a while back and finally decided to send it in.

Wondering if anyone agrees with what the author is saying. Is she right? I think that sometimes our natural waves, kinks, coils, and curls can be distracting for people who just can’t seem to be able to focus on anything but our hair. And if it’s that much of a problem, we can always tuck it back so everyone can feel “relaxed” and “focused”. I just don’t like the overall tone of this article. I want to hear from the CN community!
