I would buy a house just so I could have an Instant Kitchen.

I think kitchens are the most exciting thing about home ownership, and what I’m most drawn to when passing by for-sale postings outside realty offices. Unfortunately with condo prices starting around $500-600k in San Francisco, I’m a wee bit short of the $100-120k I’d need for a 20% down payment. Not to mention the monthly payments on the remaining $400-480k mortgage. Ouch. That’d be one costly kitchen.

Travel the world, build a kitchen, travel the world, build a kitchen…
