[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You bought too much house. It's that simple . You can justify it any way you want, but that is your major fixed expense and it's going to cause stress and majorly limit you now. 
Let's not gloss over that you said you have empty rooms to fill .

A lot of people buy starter houses and then up moving. That's expensive too, so OP may have made a good financial decision. Who knows. [/quote]

+1.  The transaction costs of buying/selling are really high plus moving expenses.[/quote]

Exactly.  A lot of people are buying their first homes in their mid-30s and don't want to buy a small condo that they will quickly outgrow and then maybe break even on buying/selling costs in a few years if they are lucky.

It's funny how if you buy in a bad school zone or farther out, people on this board are snarky about that.  If you pay to live in a nice area with good schools, people claim you should be moving to the boonies, the same boonies that the real estate threads claim will get hit by another recession.

You can't win with this board.[/quote]
