******************************** So You Think Owning a Home Will Make You Happy? Don't Be Too Sure http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=2257 Owning a home has long been viewed as the cornerstone of the American Dream, the foundation for a happy family life and long-term financial security. Now, a new research paper challenges that conventional wisdom.
