Hey Mark! Good topic to speak on as it is a highly debated subject. Money brings security and memories. Yes of course you can be okay without making a lot of money but the things your children will experience with you will be cherished forever.
On a different topic... Have you done and article or can you tell me...
What expenses come with owning a house while you flip it. I'm talking the property taxes, electricity... Not the repairs. I'm creating a budget for my repairs... do you use any specific program?
