CNNMoney: Should I buy or rent?
Should I buy or rent? By Walter Updegrave October 26, 2011: 7:33 AM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- For the last three years, my husband and I have been renting a house. But I would rather buy than throw my money away on rent. Still, even though we have about $120,000 in savings, great credit and no debt, my husband is reluctant. The job he's had the past two years took 15 months to find, and it pays a lot less than his previous job. He's afraid buying now isn't a good idea because of the shaky economy. What do you think: Should we buy or continue renting? -- Jean J.
