fame & fortune

size08

I like the Kathern Zeta-Jones story, really. What's the difference between her and other actress's who rock up to Hollywood in search of fame & fortune? Katherine didn't have to wait on tables like her fellow actress's. Because of her film and television success in the UK, she had money; giving her the advantage! :happy:

I want to know where you live that you can get a house and land in the country for 50k lol

I grew up in Ohio. My parents bought a home and 1/2 acre of land for $25,000.

I think the key is your parents. I live in the country and have 1/2 an acre and my house + land originally cost $175k, and now its valued $225k.. Oh, this is in Texas..

The only land + house you can get that, I know of, for $50k has wheels...

The best option is to look in to tiny living.. Yes...... $10k for a home thats itty bitty, requires 10 minutes of light cleaning, and prevents family from wanting to come over? SOLD!

You can't really compare one state with the other. Ohio has had a depressed real estate market for a few years now, so has Michigan. You can get a house with land in either state for very little money.

I live in NC and you can definitely get a house (maybe a small house or one that needs some work) and a few acres for $50K if you are willing to live in a more rural area. And no wheels on the house, either.

Not everyone needs fancy, which is why some of these homes are so cheap.
