Welcome.
Now would be the time to search for a house if you have the financial means to do so. I bought my house 5 years ago in a decent (read: you see 12 year olds smoking) neighborhood for $42K. I have almost 1/8 of an acre, a 1.5 car garage, and a fully cemented driveway. My house payment with insurance and taxes factored in is around $400/month. There are now houses similar to mine going for low 30's on my street.
Later, Doug
