I'm still working on the book, Start Late, Finish Rich. (I tend to have several books going at one time.) David Bach talks about the importance of home ownership, but so far, most of his writing on saving is geared toward putting money away for retirement. I need to work on a balance of saving for various things. I've started several accounts with the online bank ING Direct, which helps. It's easy to transfer money from my brick-and-mortar bank to ING, but I need to remember to do it consistantly for the various things (including my technology, next car, vacation, and emergency accounts in addition to the home downpayment account).
George and I have looked at several apartment complexes together, which has been fun for the most part, but has led to some interesting discussions as well. My next home will be another apartment, I'm sure. Meanwhile, I'm getting back into cleaning my own place, which is in need of a clutter sweep in several places. One of my main goals is to reduce the "hot spots" that attract clutter in my apartment.
