With all these talk about going from homes to apartments, I wondered how many people think:


1. Going from a home to an apartment is moving "down" in life. (I am not speaking of after the kids grow up and you sell your home to OWN an apartment/condo/townhouse, but a family that owns a home and then sells it to rent an apt.)


2. What are the advantages when you own something and have equity and then go to giving someone else your money to pay THEIR bills?


3. How bad would it have to be living in your home to make the decision to do this?


4. What advantages and/or disadvantages are there to living in an apartment vs living in

To me it is a win, win situation as I can do both. I can spend the time on the weekends with the kids AND still be with friends.

Richardson was great until it seemed like he was being inconsistent with every other thing he said.

it's gonna be interesting. I like Richardson alot and met him twice but Hilary's speech the day she filed was A MAZING. But I figure liking all of the top four candidates in my party is a good thing -- you can be sure who ever he nominee is I 'll be working my tail off for!

going to bed now...8am board meeting on the same day as Liza's first day back to school GOOOD times!
