I'm quite fortunate myself, but I feel the Strains as I have a 13 year old and she is quite expensive.

My then-boyfriend wanted to buy a house for us to live in. I said "I'm not buying it with you unless we're married or at least engaged." He understood, and knowing his own time plan was able to get a house big enough for both of us on his own, but now that we're married his income has essentially doubled, so we're in a comfortable situation. And still have 5 more years of fixed rates... but we're looking to get in a more traditional product. That is the only case where I see the merit in it. I'm very happy we used it to buy something we can actually afford. When I complain it's mostly about the gas prices, the grocery prices, the meager raises at the office... and I realize that I'm quite fortunate.
