For me, I grew up with a high emphasis on sports and school. 

Also if my wife wants to go to the spa or I want to go drop cash at a sporting event its not even a question, we go do it and I do not care what she spent as she earned it, saved it and manages her money well. 

Person A may have taken family vacations each year and travelled, paid for their kids college, splurged on a pool at their house, had a fun sports car, etc. while person B stayed home eating ramen noodles.

There are plenty of people who own firearms for sport and protection.

But again, I would keep in mind that market selection should also be made based on what is important to you (things like: population, demographics, industries, weather, major sports team, population trends, etc).In any case, if you want to chat more about this, happy to help. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Is there any skiing or winter sports there? 

I do try to mix in some informational questions while talking to them, not stuff that would be a violation of any protected laws, but like in my application I ask for all the names of everyone who would be in the unit and have a space for the kids names so I might ask how the kids like school or if they play sports.

In addition, foregoing going out (eating, clubbing, concerts, sporting events, etc.) as often could result in savings that can be applied to the down payment.Small sacrifices can help many obtain the necessary down payment.Save now, reward yourself when the nearly passive income permits.Good luck

Look at how many lottery winners lose all their money, and how many sports figures end up broke, after earning millions.
