Which I am supportive of, and I am into REI...at this stage I am just learning.We both agree, that a) as long as what we are into makes us happy, b) there is some kind of profit, and c) risk of financial injury is low, then she is on board with REI.For instance, I wouldn't even think about getting a property, even with zero down, without having six to nine months of cash stuffed away.
