This will be our 3rd custom home. And yes, we're lucky as heck. And spoiled? My hubs' 10 yrs of working his ass off 7-days a week thru grad school made it possible. We sacrificed and pinched. Lived in Apts when others were buying homes and traveling. Folks here talk about concerts we couldn't afford to attend and music we couldn't afford to buy in our younger days. We waited until my late 30s to have our one kid.

It's still difficult to give up our frugality, even when paying for a 2 bedroom custom home on a beautiful mtn lot.
