A bubblehead with a purchase plan

Truly, I am focused on Boston real estate.  Still, there are lots of interesting stories that people are writing about who live in other cities.  Here, for example, is how one person is hoping to afford to buy sometime in the future.  Notice that this person is DELAYING their self-gratification in order to do something.  […]
