Oh no - not me! I am considering buying a hurricane damaged sailboat for cheap, repairing it, then living on it for a bit. It will be exciting. I can get a pirate flag and a parrot and a wooden leg and start saying "arrrrrr" a lot.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-1131642400490260832005-11-10T12:06:00.000-05:002005-11-10T12:06:00.000-05:00I agree, Anonymous.

(and yes, I dare to use that word) She quit in 2002 after her papa pointed out a series of articles in the Economist on the overvaluation of the housing market.<BR/><BR/>Saving up is always a good idea.

For those who bought real-estate thinking they could sell it in six months for 4/3rds the price they paid.
