I am told by my parents (who are very 'successful' in the house side of things, owning 4 of the beggars), that they have never found their dream house. They are now closer to 60 than 50, which leads me to think that they never will? I still have the old romantic notion that we will find ours, but seeing as we will likely be in whatever house we move to in the next few months until our mid 40s, I'm not entirely sure... :think:0 -

For those lucky enough to buy it, the reality isn't always like the dream.0 -
