If you're scared of the neighborhood......realize that you only have to live there for a year.....then move out, and put another tenant in the unit that you vacate. 

I'll be the first to say that I am a bit scared especially of the electrical or plumbing or just being taken advantage by a contractor. 

I hope you all are in good health and doing well during these difficult times.

I’m scared to freakin death, but I’m going to go for it!

I’m making it and surviving, but I’m blessed to have a job in these times, have a roof over my head, my health and my family.  

@David Czech I love that you are storing cash away in a reserve account.The only thing that scares me about this post is that sentence about saving for a catastrophic event.What we think about we bring about and what we focus on expands.

An easy excuse to follow up "Hey, I know we didn't agree as you were at 100k and I was at 70k, you mentioned you needed to sell fast because you have a lot of surgeries coming up you have to pay for, and I want you to make sure you're focusing 100% on your health and not this house that needs a lot of work.

Universities scare me.

I read is lot of the forums but just too scared to take the plunge.

I am about 80% excited and 20% scared.
