I know it's not just me, I know that some of you people are gettin' old too. And you know what happens to old people, they become responsible and do things like save money and buy houses. If you are really like me, then you also have no clue about buying houses. And apparently there are a enough of us to warrant a monthly event called "Home Buying For Hipsters." Licensed Real Estate agents, Mortgage Brokers and Real Estate Attorneys show up and teach you the ins and outs of home buying, all while having one or two or several drinks to make the shock of it all a bit easier.
