Robbed TWICE and now have a SHOT house....UMMMMM

Realize CRIME is EVERYWHERE no matter where you go....the incidence of it maybe lower in other neighborhoods thats all.

U can get proactive and start a Neighborhood Watch to try and save your hood...or you can bail...and find a hood that has a lower incidence of crime...

In the USA..Mortgage Interest is deductible from your Income Taxes...so when your in your 30's having a Mortgage is not a bad thing..and if your in a high enough income bracket its preferable. Its just what percentage of income is used for debt payment...also a home in most cases is an appreciating asset over time. so your paying of interest is not wasted.

Now if U said you wanted a NEW CAR and were going into debt I would say Fk U don't do it...but a home is different.
