Re: HGTV Dream House Giveaway

Sandi, your experience is not holding you in good stead in this instance. You and Jeannie can try to find hidden meanings, but they just aren't there. I merely stated the best decision we made was to buy a house we could afford on one income because of the things that followed; like our both getting laid off and now health issues. "We" Sandi, not people I don't even know.

Does it feel good to be debt-free? Yes. Would I like everybody to have that wonderful feeling? Yes. Do I know other people's finances? No. Did I tell them they should buy a house they could pay for with only one income? No.

You are reading something into my post that just wasn't put there.

Dang, Jeannie, how in the world did you get that from her message?!
She said absolutely nothing to make you so defensive.

Anne/OH


I got it, too, so she's not crazy. It's been my experience that when anyone says, "Well, I don't know about others, but I..." it's usually an unfavorable comparison to the "others."
