Re: Owning a house.
[ QUOTE ]
I'm watching TLC about couples buying houses and living together. It seems to me the thought of buying a house is worthless for the fact that the bank owns it and you're going to end up paying 3x the price if you dont just pay up front. Your thoughts?

This post kinda makes my head hurt, not trying to be a dick, but i'm also not really sure to begin....
My guess is that anyone who is having their story put onto TLC probably has some get rich quick/flip plan for their house and stands a decent chance of getting in over their head.
But for the millions of Mom/Dad/2.4 Kids/Dog families out there buying a house and living in it for 20-40 years is probably the best investment that any of them will ever make.
Long term, what is the alternative to a mortgage?
