Good on ya. That's the spirt brother. My wife and I bought a house in a crap neighborhood to have a family. It's what we could afford. The kids in the neighborhood all got free gobment food every summer. Then it changed and the remaining blacks sold out and whites moved in. Now we are the poorest whites on the block, there is one black family left over 2 blocks (good folks) and the rest have all moved @ 10 miles away. Rich snobby assholes are moving in paying cash for million dollar homes. They are poets, life coaches, and natural organic farmers who still have large organic farms but moved in for the edumacaqtion and payed too much for housing. I'm the only person (overly)armed on the block. We still have shootings, only had 2 gunshots nearby last night, but that shit is moving out. Remember, set your priorities and live life to hit those goals. I calculated that my life was a 3 legged stool: Relationships (family/friends), health, finances. That means you need to spend time with family, workout, and word at making $cratch. You can't have only 2 legs of the stool or the one missing will hurt the remaining two. Some folks would put religion int there as well. It worked for me and the kids grew up, moved out and are still loving me. The wife as well.
