Woohoo! Freeper children buck the trend. My 31 year old daughter bought and sold her first house and banked $45,000!

Congrats to your daughter, and you for a fine job of raising her. My two daughters, 30 and 34, also buck the trend. Very focused, got through 4 years of college by 21 and hit the job market. They listened to us parents about staying out of debt. They both have great homes and are doing very well with their own children.

My older daughter and her husband did a novel thing. They bought an old victorian home in a redevelopment area, that had been converted to an apt bldg. The neighborhood is an up and coming area for professionals, near downtown. Cost $80G, bought in cash. No taxes for 10 years. They gutted the bldg, their own labor, and are almost done converting it to living space above and restaurant below. They plan to run a restaurant there. No debt, fully owned, worth $500G. Their friends are of like mind, work hard and smart and you can get things done.
