    Default Saving for a House?

    Is anyone else saving up to buy a house?

    I used to be a homeowner, but due to the recession and my late husband's illness and passing I sold and am starting over in a different state. Living in an apartment now and I miss having my own home and garden. Looking forward to having a little house and a plot of earth to call my own. If all goes well that will happen sometime in 2012.

    We are also looking to buy a house but outright or through a land contract. We too live in an apt no room for a garden or for planters, we miss having a garden. We are looking forward to a house that is much quiter than where we are now.

    I know this is an oldie but I thought I would throw in my two cents...Yep I am also saving to buy a house here in Texas outright. All of my family and friends think I am nuts but I already have 28% saved toward my goal...so a few more years and I should be able to do it. I just can not see signing a mortgage at 49 years old.
