Your heart will bleed for this young married couple. They purchased their new home in 2002 for $169,000, and are dismayed to discover that it didn't more than double its value in four years, despite the addition of tile floors and a backyard koi pond. Not only that, but the real estate market's failure to perform to expectations is costing them their future, CNN reports:
"We're planning on starting a family someday," says the 30-year-old Young [no relation], who builds simulation software for a defense contractor. "We wanted a bigger home - with a pool."
After all, their current home is only a tiny four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath, 2,861 square feet. No one could possibly squeeze more than two people into it. Especially when there's no pool.
Welcome back to Earth Mr. and Mrs. Young!!!
