Wow...this is a neat thread.
I think our mortgage is at $1,100 a month not including taxes.
We have lived here 2 years now & basically live paycheck to paycheck. It is difficult owning your own home wondering if you will make it month to month. I can't say I know what it's like to rent an apartment. Matthew & I rented a house before moving into the home we currently own & that was only $400 a month....big leap for us!
I think unfortunately, it's expensive to live period these days!!!
