my first house, i just about crapped myself. i think the first four monthly payments were soul sucking, but the fifth.got easier. it improved after that. why? i think i got use to dumping 40% of my paycheck into my house..and i got raises.
i kept working and accepting crappy night shifts that offered plenty of OT. i got by.
i think in general, pay is higher here. it doesnt match housing cost, but it is a step in the right direction.
i sold that house. took the major profits and bought another home..only slightly more expensive. i get paid more now and my wife works. so it was a no brainer.
i hope when i sell, it is worth a lot more. and then i buy somewhere else. cheaper..maybe a $40k cape cod somewhere..not in cape cod.
