Comments: I'm in the education field and with a annual salary of $36,000 I hardly qualify for a loan for a half descent home. How is one supposed to survive in America when you can't even afford to buy a home? I pay more rent now than it would cost to buy a home.

It is a tough situation. I think that the only way out is a miracle, however there is another way but many do not like that approach... Its a total lifestyle change. Not that you spend less or anything like that but it mostly comes down to relocating in a place where you can start fresh and able to live more free. Sometimes we are captives of the place we live in. In another area we might get a better job, be able to afford a better home, etc.
