How to own a home
It made me
Thrilled!!! 
"Scared, excited, and fulfilled are some of the words that describe how the process of purchasing a home for my family made me feel about myself and life in general."
How I did it: It helped us that we came into a large sum of money that enabled us to both put a nice down payment and some money for refurbishing and landscaping into our new home. Thanks Grandma!
Lessons & tips: Work hard, save as much money as you can, don't overextend yourself, don't be frivolous, and don't gamble on a chancy deal.
