only because this keeps coming upI never said I needed two houses. Never said I didnt.I said where "I'm" from, a million is basically two good houses with some extra left over.So overall, a million wasn't enough to be secure to quit your job and be worry free.There are taxes to pay on houses, regular bills, lifestyles, insurance for health etc etc.One bad condition of specific hospital procedure with insurance can still put someone under.So no, having 2 houses is not a dire need (but a great investment..doesn't anyone here own two properties anyways?)So thats what saying two houses referred to. That depending where one is, lives, a million in this day and age isnt what everyone thinks it is.I mean were not destitute here
