    Depends on what the thermostat is set to, and how close to the equator said home is.

    Fair question.

    To be a true Master, one must be free from encumberances.

    True. But... there is a certain amount of, shall we say, admiration that could be reserved for those stable enough to qualify for a mortgage on a nice place... then again, in this world of flipping properties, maybe not.

    I've never had a woman come on to me when I said "hey baby I own my house". Just saying.

    Many of those "stable" people lost their homes and ended up living in motels.

    So wrong.

    And this is why you cannot be Master of your domain.

    lol, I know what you're saying. I bought a really boring, practical car after I got a house, because I was suddenly really interested in gas mileage, and I've yet to hear, "oh, baby, you're so praaactical..."

    Would have a better success rate than "hey baby, I live at home with my parents".

    In my own defense, I'll have my mortgage until I finially get into the salary range to afford my "forever" home. But! That is part of the plan. Purchase something nice now (well I purchased after shtf and got an awesome deal) and chill with it until its time to upgrade.

    I do wish I didn't have a mortgage but that will come with time and more planning.

    It let's you know if a guy has the ability to save money and is indicative of his financial health

    depends-if he owns it when you marry him, after a bitter court battle with ex wife, and wont put your name on it due to his insane ex-wife giving him PTSD-then it can suck-just sayin

    When a guy owns his own country home, vehicle, and has a good stable job or preferably owns his own business, that's really hot. :flowerforyou:

    my job precludes me from having an opinion on this matter but if I did it might be similar to yours

    I don't consider it hot, as much as seeing it as a sign of maturity and stability. It was a must when I was dating.

    Now being an excellent cook--THAT is hot.

    See I try to say very little to women about my life. It starts off well... Yeah I have a good job... I own my house/car etc. I am single... I have two kids.. I am super involved, coach all their sports, always with them etc... What happened to their mom? I am a widower.... That's when I get either pity or they run cause I am a man raising 2 young kids by myself. Neither outcome is fun.

    I would think it may not be hot, but I would also think it may be a nice aphrodisiac... like....

    "Let's go somewhere."
    "OK, let's go back to my place."
    "You have your own place? What about your roommates?"
    "No roommates. I own my own home."
    "Oh! Um.... OK!"
