But you only get 15 years of tax write offs for the interest. :-)
We purchased our condo right after the crash. We looked at town homes that were twice the price but still below the amount we were pre-approved for. We chose the cheaper option and thank god for it. My wife went back to school and didn't work for two years strait. Had we chose the more expensive townhouse, there is no way we would have been able to afford for her to go to school. Now she just graduated and as soon as she gets her lisence the earning potential is twice as much as her previous vocation.
People just seem to make dumb choices. I know people who naught way more house than they needed just to keep up appearances. Some had the house for closed on, other are just house poor and are lately scraping by. But they got a giant house tho!
I am part of that power which eternally wills evil, and eternally works good.
