      Personally I disagree. They come with their own set of problems and admittedly probably require specific character traits on both sides, but they can be worth as much as any other relationship!

    Don’t know if it is that expensive for others or not but just sharing cuz it might help someone.

    You don’t need to be a dad in order to make dad jokes.

    Before buying your fitst home:

    • bring someone with more experience than you to have a look at it, maybe even a professional
    • scout out the area (on foot) during the day, evening and night
    • visit local businesses like cafés, restaurants, bakeries etc.
    • look at statistics like crime and air quality
    • have a talk with the neighbors, get a sense of the community if you can, otherwise just observe while taking walks
    • if applicable, call the home owner’s representative (or whatever the equivalent is where you live), ask them about the home, neighborhood, community, expenses, plans for the future etc.
    • have a set budget of how much you want to spend on it before you move in, don’t overstep that amount
