Owning your own home

Buying a house or flat is a long term decision and for a few years it will be a money pit, but in time you should find it costs you less. Also don't think of a house as an investment, instead remember it's your home.

Bought for the first time a couple of years ago. Saw loads of places with heaps of potiental, as great investments (watch too much TV). Bought a house with heaps of potiental as a long term family home. Someday, I might even come to terms with the fact that its made out of wood.
