Ultimately, our mental model is to stay open minded and to learn rigorously.

One reason is because many people who lose their properties due to delinquent taxes have serious mental issues.

@Bruce WoodruffI think the either/or mentality is odd.

@James H Webb III I think your mentality is awesome!

Mental Health.

I have had houses given to me where people had mentally already walked away from them. 

Like I said, the only hard requirement is sunlight, since I spend all of my time programming in a room and if it's dark all the time my mental health suffers.As for home ownership, it's in the plan.

Tell me you have two options for me and I will tell you I  completely understood your sales pitch, but now I need to think about your two options for a while because you over-taxed my mental capacity with with you options.OPTIONS ARE NOT GOOD!!!

However, I was really hoping what I had read all these years about it being easy to evict someone who is MTM in your primary would be true...The tenant is not a friend, just someone who is mentally ill and did not disclose that on their application.

The mentality is "Ban the 46 OZ soda at the convenience store because people can't control themselves and they are too fat."
