45. our society does not encourage people to thnk ahead..

I remember when we were looking to buy a home. There was a house that was about 70K more than the one we ended up buying. We really loved that house...wanted it...but I remember going home and calculating our income and the "what if" scenarios...like daycare and if someone lost a job...and that house that cost 70K more just didn't look so "nice" anymore...
We settled for the 1200sq ft ranch which was $92K and we now are far more comfortable financially...
