And have someone else cut the grass and do maintenance.
Don't tie up your money in a 30 year loan that you will never pay off.
Plus, at 85, you might not want to be responsible for a home and move into assited living or retirement community.

(Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:09:18 GMT)
A Cotswolds village (Twyning in Gloucester ) wants to keep local housing for locals only as rich people buy homes for retirement or as holiday homes outbidding any local buyers. This changes the ethos of these villages and makes it difficult for locals to buy homes in their own community. Other areas like the lake District and Wales want to bring in a similar policy.... do you think this is a good idea?
