Who knows if she'll marry rich after the sex industry, marry poor, or whatever. The important thing is that she's smart with her money. She is a hustler and saves. If you see a Dior bag on her, it's because someone bought it for her. Saving your own money and making guys buy your luxury items is the way to go if you're in that profession. Bree doesn't spend any of her own money on frivolous items, and I respect that. What's wrong with a girl saving her money and buying a house? If she wants to live in Indiana again near her friends and family, great! That makes it even easier to buy a nice house for a small town price.

I feel that you're putting buying a house in the same category as planning for a family. Sorry, but this is a sore spot with me because it's something I noticed when I bought mine as a young, single female. It's just investing. That's all it is. It's called being smart.



Despite the person in question, I agree wholeheartedly with Gia. I persoanally can't stand hooking, and for the longest time she didn't advertise a wish list of stuff for her suiters to buy (like the $400 handbag she has). Even I admired that about her, in that she always said she'd never bother spending her money on stupid shit. She still buys her groceries @ Meijer; and shops at casual/hipster clothing shops (Old Naxy, A&F, Hollister) in the mall last I talked to her.

I'm originally from Jersey - by way of PA, NY and OH. I've moved around alot. I vacationed in Ohio & Indiana alot, which is why I moved here. Not only did I hate the "hustle" of the metro coast, it's WAY cheaper out here. What one will pay $500k for in Jersey, you can get for $250k here in the Hoosier State (WITH land!!). Of course, it's not for everyone, because people don't think there's enough to do. Ft. Wayne is actually a kick-ass town, with a local night club that hosts acts the caliber of Mudvayne, Killswitch Engage, Saliva...and for those into it, even Busta Rhymes came to town 3 weeks ago. At the Badfish concert last night, I ran into a couple who recently transplanted from Staten Island, and we hit it off.

I'll assume Baby G isn't talking to me, because I have no issues with anyone buying a home. It's a smart investment. But in the cornfields of Indiana, a $500,000 home is frivolous & overkill. It's more than anyone will ever to able to maintain (clean, etc.) as a housewife, and it's more space than would need even if you had 4 kids with their own bedrooms. On the flip side, nothing against it, but I probably wouldn't live is something small either. Working in my field, I see homes that make you envious. The owners aren't corporate execs, rather mid-level management folk (or even high-paid blue collar workers) who make about $75k per year. When asked of the owners, they said, "Oh, we paid about $230k for that (a 2400 sqft. house with 4 acres of land) about six years ago".

I almost fainted.
