    what does that have to do with a mortgage? That's what I am asking. I think we have come to equate having a house as being mature. I have seen mature people live at home and do what they are supposed...

    mclennan, that does not matter. Most people renew the lease after a year. I actually worked with an older nurse who lived in an apartment and lived there for years and had the same job for a long...

    yeah, Lady, me too. I try and consider others. Apparently, ICU is a better option regarding narcs than M/S. I didn't have that exp in NS, but I guess real world is better. Lady, thanks for the...

    I do not understand why it makes a difference if you have to keep renewing a lease. If you live 15 years in an apartment or have a 15 year mortgage, it is the same. People sell houses, too. You are...

    After the one year, you usually re-new the lease. Most people do not get up and move constantly younger or older. What's the rational that a younger person would get up and move? I personally can only...
