Real estate has become our favorite investment option. The prices keep on rising, and here is an investment that is almost completely stable.

The American home is something that has continued to evolve over time. Generations ago, working families yearned for the suburbs where the clean air and white picket fences would fulfill their very own American dream. Today, that same home is a larger model of its predecessor and includes conveniences that we would have long ago only dreamed about owning. The home swimming pool for instance, is now more a standard than it is a luxury item.

Instead, I live in a garden which stretches the entire length of my house and is at least four times the width.
