In reply to Kaitlyn. Thanks Kaitlyn! We're preparing to buy our 2nd house now and I really want to make sure we stay well within our comfort zone, but it's a little harder because we moved to a more expensive area.

Thanks for the great tips for buying a house, and what to avoid when doing so. It’s scary to think that, like you said, if I over spend on a house I would be struggling to make ends meet for decades. I will make sure that I find a nice, affordable house that fits my budget!

This is really good advice – it can be tempting to overspend on a big purchase like buying a home. But the consequences can last for many years!

Great advice! We are fairly new homeowners (almost one year in) and our mortgage is a little higher than I’d like. Luckily we are refinancing soon!
