I'm in the process of convincing my parents to sell me their house so I can just live in my childhood bedroom forever. I figure it might make me age slower.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always been into older homes, even if I have to refurbish or remodel or raise roof lines or knock out walls.
I made my parents crazy. As a kid, I redecorated my bedroom every month. I would literally save my allowance and go buy things.
I'm a product of public housing. My parents grew up poor, but their dream was to own a home.
I advise everyone to build a house at 19. It's such good practice.
I've lived in a big showplace house, and I never want to live again in a house that overshadows me.
I think my parents had in mind that I would settle down at quite a young age, but I decided that being a housewife in a big country house wasn't for me.
Aging is an inevitable process. I surely wouldn't want to grow younger. The older you become, the more you know; your bank account of knowledge is much richer.
Reversal of ageing is high on my list of things to do, and not just because I'm getting old.
My house is a place I have spent many years improving to the point where I have no desire to leave it.
I was only 21 when I bought a five-bedroom detached house in Stoke-on-Trent that was way outside of my financial status in life. I did it by borrowing money from my family and the bank, taking out a huge mortgage.
