When we were first married, we lived in New York. What better place to live on the income of one teacher than NYC?

Then we moved to Houston, where naturally, with housing prices being so profitably low, we rented an apartment. Eventually, we broke down and bought a second car, even though my job was across the street from where we rented. About the time we doubled our expenses, I stopped working to take care of our first born. Naturally, having shed my job, it was now time to move again.

So we moved to the third most expensive place in the United States, after NYC and California, Washington DC. Once again, we chose to rent. We opted not to enter into the 401K at the time and refused to buy stock for fear there would be a crash. After all, the Dow Jones had never crested over 1000 before.

Five years and four children later, we bought a house. The housing market promptly went insane, but we could not capitalize as we had only just purchased and would have to hold our asset. Five years more passed. We had our house bought by the state and purchased a new one. The housing market is now in a free fall.

So, in the interest of preserving friends and family's fiscal health, I issue this warning. I opened a savings account today.
