Own It!

I've just started reading a new (to me) book called Own It! The Ups and Downs of Homebuying for Women Who Go it Alone, by Jennifer Musselman. Usually I wait until I finish a book before I review it, but I wanted to go ahead a hold a place for this book. Already, it makes some interesting points about homebuying and how a relationship fits into the equation.

George and I have been living together in an apartment for a little over a year. We've talked a little bit about owning a home together, but not much. Our ideas about the type of home we want is different. (He wants a house with a yard that will accomodate multiple pets, for instance, and while I love animals in general, I don't feel like I have the time or energy to care for pets right now.) So, there are a variety of issues for us to talk about on the home-hunting front. (Our apartment hunt ended up well, I must say.) It'll be an interesting conversation on down the road, I know. (I'm sure we'll have planty of them, actually!)

I plan to let you know later how I like this book.
