[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1364412, member: 4362"] Sounds like we are going backwards. I wouldn't dare build a house on someone else's land with the hope of them being pleased enough with me after 5 years to deed me the property. I have worked for some who furnished a house. While the pay may not have been that great I was able to save a lot of money. In one case I was able to save 85% of what I made because the only expense I had was food. Being a dumbazz, I got a little ansi about moving on and the guy I worked for tried to talk me out of leaving saying I was doing better than I thought but I wanted to go and make some real money at another job. Man was I a dumbazz for leaving that job because while I made more money at the new job I was only able to save around 15% of my earnings. This type arrangement is fairly common here but can be dangerous since the tendency of most is to spend what they make and not save. In the case Hurley posted I could see a person really getting in a bind after working those years and losing their home. I couldn't see doing that myself. I view that about the same as someone asking me to supply my own work truck and they buying the gas. I'm amazed at how many agree to do this. [/QUOTE]
