Andrey,

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my story.

I agree with your assessment that buying a home is a great idea for some people. It certainly sounds like you had your finances lined up to afford a home.

However, my estimate is that the majority of homeowners should have stayed renters until their financial situation was better. I definitely should have!
