Hello,

I am new here and have enjoyed reading some of the bogs I was so inspired I decided to writre my own. 

Have you ever had a pair of jeans or a dress that you have looked at for years and thought to yourself, "If I could just loose 5 or 10 pounds I could buy that?"  Of course we all have and yes a lot of us have even thought of the easy way out..."I wonder how much is liposuction?"  LOL and just think if you could get that plastic surgery you would fit into the jeans or dress of your dreams.  But the easy way out is not always the best way out after all who wants to diet, exercise or count points or calories. 

 

But guess what, your life is just like the scenario I mentioned above think about this.  You see the house of your dreams, this would be the pair of jeans or dress, but your credit and your finances will not allow you to own that house you love.  Guess what? you can but just like dieting and exercising you will have to budget and get your credit to the point where you are able to buy that home.  I am sure we all can relate, credit and finance are the keys to home ownership...so think of home ownership like the scenario above.

 

If you want to loose weight you work at it, if you want to buy that house you work at it.  Stay tuned to part 2 of things that make you go hummmmm?  I will have answers to the great old question...how do or where do I begin?

Nice analogy.  Even more relevant now with the credit crunch.  We've had those quick fixes over the past several years.  You could have bad credit, no savings, and little income and qualify for a subprime, stated income, stated asset loan!  Time to go on a diet!
