swingchickiewhy didn't anyone tell me that mortgages cost. a LOT. of money.
did i mention a LOT?
when you factor in the cost of the house, plus taxes, townhouse association fees, etc... my mortgage, if i buy at the upper end of my limit, would be more than DOUBLE what i'm paying for rent right now. ouch.
and i've pretty much figured out that i can't afford to live in my dream town... because i'd have to have an extra $3000 or so saved for closing costs. which blows. grrrrr.
(yes, i just came from the meeting with my mortgage broker. *weep*)
