The only areas we could afford are all about a 45-minute drive from where all of my husband’s friends live. Well, correction: the only areas where we could afford something larger than a shoebox were about a 45-minute drive from where my husband’s friends live. Feeling uneasy about it, he would try to sell me on some places that were just a rip-off…all in the hopes of staying near his buddies.
