Why I don't Give Up

I have been asked "why don't you let the bank have your home and free yourself from the financial stresses of your present situation?"  The thought has crossed my mind, but I refuse to let the bank foreclose on my dream.

Growing up, I had the typical little girl's collection of Barbie dolls, but I was more interested in furnishing, decorating, and rearranging the rooms in Barbie's Dream House than playing with Ken, Skipper and the whole crew.  I knew even then that I wanted the real deal one day.

My house is more to me than just four walls with a roof overhead.  Should I ever be in the position where the bank tries to take it from me, they will have to remove me from my place, and I will be kicking and screaming. 

I will post something this weekend about one of my tactics that has helped me get through these crazy financial times.  I promise.  I just thought it was important to explain why being a home owner is so important to me and what drives me to continue my fight towards keeping my abode. What about you? Why did you buy a house or dream to do so?
