Stupid houses

[amberica]

Jon showed me today that to get even a halfway decent house, you have to spend about a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS. And no, that is not an exaggeration. It is ridiculous. Apparently prices just skyrocketed in very recent time, and it is STUPID. Even with a 30 year mortgage and a $200K house, you would have to pay $1600 a month JUST for the mortgage payments! And then there are all the utilities and maintenance, let's throw about $400 out for that, and FOOM! There goes a couple THOUSAND dollars EVERY SINGLE MONTH!!!!

Stupid stupid stupid.

Wow, and people think I’m crazy for spending thousands of dollars on PC hardware every couple of months. Then again, a house is probably more useful than a technologically cutting edge PC.
