I can't stress how much of a great experience this was for me and still is!

It saves me stress and time.We are closing on a duplex this Friday and I'm hoping to be able to take another step toward real retirement!

This is very stressful.

That in complement ion by the fact that my wife has been saving money for about 25 years has been my excuse not to feel stressed about making a living.  

It bothers me that our whole society was basically told that degrees are a necessity yet many with degrees are still having difficulty finding jobs in their chosen field.  

I'm not trying to be mean, but when there are already kids alive who are suffering and dying for love (and food and shelter), having "your own" is not only selfish, but costly for you and society as a whole.

Better systems means less stress. 

Notice to perform threatening cancellation and going to arbitration (directly insisting that buyer would lose deposit) was only made 1 month after escrow expired (2 days ago)We feel these are empty threats but getting stressed since agent is dual agent and not acting in best interest of buyer in his communication and not providing solutions besides asking for buyer to sign removal of contingencies and release deposit to seller for 2 more weeks but Bank said they need 3 more weeks to close.Assuming this is standard California association realtor form.

Owning a property with no debt creates significantly less stress. ie, getting it rented out immediately is not as important as renting to the right tenant, etc.

Play on their desire for a stress-free life.
