welcome to BP Kyle There is endless of great information here and it's free. 

The strategies could be endless.

Any "design" I get to do in my company is usually so dictated by local and state design codes that they almost take the engineering/creativity out of the equation and you just end up conforming to endless lists of requirements (which can be extremely tedious to learn and keep up with).  

This topic could drag on endlessly.

Activities can be endless, after school you'll have football practice, the band plays again, sometimes schools are open for civic activities.

I am a die hard teacher and endlessly help people with their careers, etc.

You can read ENDLESS cautionary tales here on BP, but at the end of the day, if you walk away, YOU need to know why that was right for YOU!

I don't want the endless cycle of balloon mortgages that seem designed to benefit banks, not borrowers. 

The list of research is really endless but I recommend you think through the first year and what could really derail you and identify risk mitigation measures for those scenarios...you cannot eliminate risk but you can be prepared for it and make informed risk decisions.

My wife and I have talked endlessly about this and have flip flopping on what we should do.
