[quote=Anonymous]OP, we spent too much when we bought our first house in a town outside of DC and it was a struggle for years. Eventually we moved up to DC and rented the house out because we couldn't afford to sell it. (This was before the run up in housing prices.) I could have kicked myself for having bought that house. But eventually we made more money and the house picked up in value and we sold it 19 years later at a $150k profit, which we are using to fund our kid's college education. I still wish we hadn't bought it but I also realize that we never would have socked away that much money on our own. (dh and I don't see eye to eye on saving money. He would never have agreed to be that aggressive about saving.) This all is to say that while it sucks now, just keep hanging in there. You may be able to sell it for a lot more down the line. I know that doesn't help now though.[/quote]
