It has been a very long time since I have been a homeowner. I think I sold my last house in Calgary in 1993 or 4. You see? It's been so long I can't even remember for sure. I do know I was married in 1992. Yes. That could be seen as funny. Maybe it actually IS funny even. But anyway I got married in 1992, and back in 1972. And for awhile there, I figured I had a pattern of getting married every 20 years, whether it was a good idea or not. But then 2002 came and went and no wedding, so I broke that pattern. Good for me! What's that got to do with homeowning? Something and nothing. When I was a married person, I had a partner with an income and it seemed possible to own a home. My first partner even built the home. Horray for carpenters and people who know how to do things. Ok I did have a home when I was single (read widowed), but it felt as though he helped me with that one, too, seeing as how it was the revenue from the home he built that gave me the ability to buy...
