Each year feels like it passes faster than the next, and 2011 was no exception. So much changed for me when I got married in March. On that day, my husband’s daunting law school debt became partly my responsibility , and we then got on the same insurance plans. My emergency fund was also partly depleted in 2011 due to an unexpected laptop death.

What are your resolutions this year? If

Across the country, news stories continue to scare buyers into thinking that the market may continue to fall – and that prices will drop even more.
The truth is, whether home prices rise or fall in the near future is irrelevant, because a home is for the long term. It’s a place to live and build a future. What matters is that right now, you can own the home you want for a fixed monthly payment that will fit comfortably within your budget – and will become even more comfortable as your income rises over time.
If you want the independence and pride of home ownership, waiting to see if prices go even lower could prove to be an expensive mistake. Interest rates could rise at any time, eliminating any savings from a lower price. In fa
